FAQ

1. Why don't you do digital art?
For the same reason I don't read books on a Kindle -- it doesn't feel the same to me. Unless I'm getting paint all over my hands and smelling the eraser shavings, I just can't get into it. Art, for me, is more an emotional thing than a technical one, and I won't do it if I can't *feel* it.

2. Is your name really Jessmo Hutchy?
That isn't quite the name on my birth certificate, no, but it's how most people know me. "Jessmo" is a variation on my given name - Jess - that my fellow coined sometime early on in high school. "Hutchy" is the name my main character will take on any online game I play, and is the name most of my contacts prefer to call me. Either is fine - take your pick!

3. Can I use your art for a forum signature or in a journal layout or...?
Sorry, but no. I do not authorize my work to be used in any way without my written permission - e-mail me with any questions: HutchySwan at Gmail.

4. Do you take requests? Can I buy this one that I saw in your gallery?
I usually have a slot or two open for a commission. If you're interested in having me paint something for you, or buying something I've already done, e-mail me: HutchySwan at Gmail.

5. How long have you been drawing?
Honestly, I doodled all my life but only became serious about it in 2006-2007. I have three classes under my belt, but none beyond a high school level - I'm looking to attend more advanced art courses at the moment and will likely detail my progress on my blog. Hopefully I can enroll in a decent class and build up my confidence in my work, haha.~
