ABOUT

THIS SITE
Like I already said, this site is very tiny one. That`s because it only deals with my art and of course me a little. The site was a bit more exhaustive before but I desided to make it more compact and simple `cause of many reasons. And I have to say that I`m happy with the result. The Q-Files is hosted by Vox Populli which is an amazing host IMO! Thanks Alice!

The past layouts of QF you can find here.

THE ART
I started to putter around doing xf-collages in the summer 2002 when I first time visit here. Right away I got curious about collaging and I just loved those artworks too much -can`t help it even today :) Of course after that I visited more xf -art sites and felt enthusiasm doing arts by myself! So I started collaging. At first my collages were really bad (honestly) but when I just kept goin`doing, I learned step by step how I really should do them. Nowadays I *really* can`t call myself such an expert or anything like that, because there`s still so long way to go if I wanna learn to make collages I can be proud of. After all I still feel kinda complacent, because I love collaging and I do it! That`s enough for me :D It`s such a powerful way to lighten my xf angst^^

I make my art using Adobe Photoshop 6. In my opinion Photoshop is so stunning, that in these days I could`n live a long time without it :) Brushes I use are made by Vered, Miss M and Michelle. Pictures I`ve been taken from The X-Files Screen Grab Archive, X-Files Roadrunners and The X-Files Photo Archive. Thank you all so much!

Drawing is a different story and pretty boring one actually :P I just have always loved it and that keeps my going. Unfortunately I`m not very talented but who cares -I think that`s more important that I enjoy doing it. I mostly draw dogs (and maybe horses sometimes?) `cause I`m so inspired by Ginga, which is the best anime ever. I would like draw more people but in that area I`m totally hopeless case...
