Art Chowder September | October Issue No. 29 | Page 15

M.J.: Comic cons, huh? That begs the question then, what was the weirdest thing you’ve ever drawn/painted/etc.? Brandy: Ha. Because I split my art up between types of shows — fine art and fan art — I have had some odd commission requests. Originally, I was going to say it would have to be an original warrior elephant I created for someone’s Dungeons & Dragons character but then I remembered a sketch I did for a podcast of the Mothman fighting the Van Meter Visitor. M.J.: That’s awesome! So weird question ... if you could invite three people (from any time or place) over for a dinner party, who would you invite? Brandy: This is the hardest question to answer. My mother would easily be put on any list but then what kind of conversation am I trying to have with the others? Is it art-centered? Are they celebrities? Is it a career push? I’m going to narrow it down to Heidi Luerra and Oprah Winfrey. M.J.: You are the new vice president of River Ridge Association of Fine Arts (RRAFA). Do you have plans for RRAFA?
