This site was founded by one of the hardest working Art Directors in the business Jon Schindehette, and has since become a hub for both aspiring and established illustrators in the Fantasy genre. For a number of years now Jon has managed to find the time to build up a site that is at the same time informative and supportive with topics ranging from the business focused “how to” side of things, to the regular staging of “Art Challenges” that provide an opportunity for the up and coming artist to get their work objectively critiqued by some of the industries movers and shakers.

Recently Jon has grown the Art Order family to include 6 new contributors, each of whom bring a very different perspective to the blog. His choices were careful ones as he is wisely wanting to build up those areas his already substantial art voice do not cover, and each of them promises to add a strong voice to the conversation.

The interview with Scott and myself is titled “Switching Tracks” and focuses on the subject of established artists who have experienced a “reboot” in their career path, and now find themselves in industries previously not considered when they set out to explore the artistic unknown. The author in this case was Randy Gallegos who will be posting monthly as one of the new contributors to the blog. I am humbled to have been asked to take part in the interview and I look forward to seeing what Randy and the rest of the Art Order team has in store for us this year!
