Interview With New York Graphic Artist and Illustrator Jeff Huang

Would you say that you have a signature style?

Presently, I would describe my art style/persona to be “refined fantasy” art. Though many of my friends and fans have known me for my diversity in art, fantasy/surreal art had always been my niche. More so now, with more than five years of experience under my belt, I’m now able to create such works with a confidence that I never had until recently. Quoting what a friend had said about my work – it seems that I have achieved a certain “uncanny eye for detail, patience, and precision in skill and technique.” This has benefited my commercial work greatly, as generally speaking, clean, refined, precise illustrations are what clients like.

Do you consider anyone as your mentor? What other illustrator/artist inspires you?

I have a few in mind. Back when I first joined DeviantART in 2004, Josh Dutra helped me by teaching me tips and tricks in Photoshop and Cinema4D. After I joined Depthcore, Jerico Santander was a close friend and a great inspiration. He influenced my style the most out of everybody. Finally, Justin Maller has been a mentor to me when it came to the business side of things. He is the agent that I never had, and he continues to push the Depthcore collective to new heights. I admire his work and more so, his integrity as a person and a fellow illustrator.

Do you have any new upcoming projects?

Yes, I do with various clients, but unfortunately I can’t disclose any details. As far as personal work goes, I am trying to push more work out for the upcoming Depthcore chapters. Very excited about that! Be on the look-out on my portfolio website!

What message can you give to our readers?
