Quby GRAPHIX & Photography: May 2010

Adrian Ross, whom resides in Dallas - Texas

decided to do his School Project on Quby GRAPHIX. Part of his Task was to Interview her. Here's what went down..

If you had a chance to work with anyone, who would it be?

There's a few, but i would love to work with Jamie Foxx, Mainly because i LOVE his music or Lady Gaga, because of her style it would be interesting to work on her Album artwork that reflects her style in real life. Dr.Dre also

How many people have you worked with?

Over the past 3 yrs, i have worked with more than 500 people, all from different parts of the world

What school do you attend?

I Currently dont attend school for it, hence 'im self taught' but i will be attending RMIT university next year to get my Degree in Graphic Design [located in the city of Melbourne, Australia]

Who or what inspired you to work in your field?

As i was growing up, i was always intrigued by photographs in magazines or digitally manipulated images, i also used to draw a lot as a youngin. No one in particular really inspired me to start on it, it was just a passion i had growing up.

Who were your hero's when you were young?

i would say my grandma. She is a very strong woman, who has been through so much in life, growing up with no parents & fending for her self, her wisdom & knowledge has definitely had an impact on my outlook of life. Her wil to Succeed in life has definitely pushed me to do more & make her proud. i Thank her for who i am today, she still is my hero :)

What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment?

I would say my greatest accomplishment is my Business & the amazing people i have worked with. To be able to get into the game at a young age was a huge advantage. Though i still would like to accomplish more, sky is the limit!

When did you know that you wanted to work in your profession?

I knew in the first few months i started my business. I knew it was something different & not many people offer, and as the demand for my work grew bigger, i knew that was the green light for me to keep going.

What are current projects that you are working on.

At the moment, i cant reveal that info because it hasn't been fully confirmed, but know it is something big! with a Well Respected West Coast Rapper/Producer. But apart from the major stuff, i always have projects on a daily/weekly basis with local up and coming music artists or Models from around the world.

How separate are you from your art?

From what my clients and supporters have told me, what separates me from the rest is my simple modern style and creativity. Yet i am VERY versatile and familiar with other styles, to suit clients needs, but i still add my personal touch to them to differentiate them from the rest.

What have you stolen/learned from another artist lately?

Im not one to steal or copy ideas, but if i do, its usually the layout/composition of things rather then the details of whats on it. As they say, "one idea leads to another", so i take an idea and make it grow.

What is the biggest mistake you have ever made?

I have not made a mistake, there fore i dont regret anything i do.

What are you trying to do to people with your art?

Mainly Inspire them, Some of my photography has inspired a lot of people to start there own & even come to the locations of where the photographs were taken.. with my Graphix, i mainly try to communicate messages through the images.

Must art have a relationship to the rest of the world?

Art to me is everywhere & in any form or shape has a relationship to the world. Whether it be music, paintings, drawings, photography, digital art etc: its all connected to something we use or see everyday.
