8 Random Facts + Features

Journal Entry: Mon May 28, 2012, 7:08 AM

Gallery | The Loop | DA Portfolio | Youtube | Sketchfu | Scraps



RULES:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end tag and name 8 or more people (although anyone can join :D)
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

My 8 FACTS:

1 - When I was a child an axe got thrown people children and I was unfortunately
     hit with it. Luckily on the blunt side.
2 - Even though I drew my whole life, I thought I was going to be an actor up
     until 18. I even did classes at National Institute of Dramatic Art where
     Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson studied.
3 - I am an only child. I only have a small portion of family from my dad's side in
     Australia, everyone else live in Croatia.
4 - I am a very emotional, creative and intuitive person. This is going to sound crazy,
     but I've had people tell me I was an 'empath' (someone who picks other people's
     emotions and becomes greatly affected by them, they can also sooth and heal others).
     I feel like I can understand people, feel their pain, suffering and joy - deeply. Yet, though
     I am an emotional person, I have an inability to want to form romantic relationships.
     The two guys in my past that meant anything hurt me too deeply.
5 - I enjoy the simple things in life. Arty, nature and interaction with people and animals.
     I am actually quite innocent and my imagination is endless.
6 - I was raised Catholic, so I have traditional views and morals. Although, I have an open
     heart and mind. I am one of the most non-judgmental people you'll ever meet.
7 - I would of been a psychologist. But art was my number one calling.
8 - I don't do what I do for money, never have and never will. I do art because I want bring
     joy and magic to the lives of others :heart:



I am actually tagging oldschool deviantart friends and showing off one of their brilliant artworks :heart:

Australia
Katarina Stapic – Illustrator/Graphic Designer

Born and bred in the land ‘Down Under’ I grew up in a world of
Dreamtime and possibilities, in one of the greatest cities on earth,
Sydney. My whole life I have immersed myself in the arts: drawing,
performing, reading and creating; all of which have helped mold
me into the well-rounded visual communicator I am today.

I studied fine arts in the year 2007 at Meadowbank TAFE; before
attending the Billy Blue College of Design in North Sydney from
2008-2011, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied
Design (Digital Media).

From 2010-2011 I landed my dream job with my favourite childhood
pencil company, Faber-Castell, as their illustrator and graphic designer.
I continue to be their illustrator for ‘Creativity for Kids’ workshops held
around Sydney during the festive seasons and promotional tours.
These workshops have led me to work at the Art Gallery of NSW
during the ‘Picasso’ opening on November 12th 2011, and at
Big W Rouse Hill Town Centre April 7th 2011.

My role as an illustrator is to help guide and inspire creativity and
imagination among children. I am in charge of demonstrating how
to draw characters, do children’s portraits, design colouring activities
and promoting Faber-Castell’s ‘Playing and Learning’ product range.
I was also commissioned as a sketch artist for Faber-Castell’s 250th
international Australian anniversary event at the Sydney Opera House
November 18th 2011.

I currently work as a graphic designer in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire,
and I love every minute of it! My goals in the future would be to have
an extensive and well-rounded career in illustration, graphic design and
visual communication. To travel and experience the world so I can truly
connect to people with my art through my experiences.

I want to create magic, evoke emotions and bring fantasy to life.
