Artist Russ Mills

Very, very cool. I am in awe of your skills sir. Thanks for making art. His personal site.

Images link to the gallery at his site, a definite must see. I even saw Flavor Flav in there.

Advice from Russ Mills:

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO ASPIRING ARTISTS/DESIGNERS ?

This is such a vast question it is extremely difficult to answer in a concise fashion but some fundamentals are-

Patience Perseverence Discipline Commitment.

DRAW ALL THE TIME, sketch or doodle as much as possible or at the very least write down ideas. Carry an A5 black book always.

Be aware of what others are doing, seek out the best of the best and learn from their approaches.

Never be satisfied with what you achieve.

Above all enjoy working and over time nurture the necessity to work.

This doesn’t even scratch the surface but is food for thought at least.
