As a follow-up on the subject of the insecurity and vulnerability that comes with making personal works, I think this quote from Daniel Benmergui, who makes independent video games, is appropriate. He was responding specifically to the question of video games as art, but I think what he said applies just as much to all forms of art:
“If you don’t feel personally exposed when publishing the game, you did not make art.”
My name is Zachary Knoles, and this is my work. I'm an independent artist living and working in the SF Bay Area. I paint mostly figurative pieces with a stylized-representational look to them. I also make animated films.
Many of my paintings are available for purchase through my Etsy store. Prices range from $500 to as low as $50. If you see a piece you're interested in that isn't currently for sale, let me know! I'm happy to work something out if I can.
