Interviews with Fantasy Artist: J. Corsentino, Creator of Time of the Faeries

This is the first installment of a Fantasy Artist Interview Project I'm undertaking. This Project will introduce you to upcoming as well as successful fantasy artists. We will learn about their hopes, their dreams, their fantasy art and their life philosophies.

Fantasy art is making a huge impact in the United States these days and with J. Corsentino's work, it's easy to see why. J. Corsentino's fantasy artwork can inspire you to believe in faeries in the here and now. I highly recommend you visit the Time of Faeries website and see for yourself after you finish reading this fascinating interview with J. Corsentino.

J. Corsentino was born in Bogota, Columbia on August 13, 1978. He has lived in New York but currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three cat children, Willow, Shadme, and Longshanks. I had the opportunity, recently, to interview J. Corsentino. We decided to do the questions and answers through email because it was easier, I live in Georgia, and more our style. We are both very attached to our computers in this high-tech age.

The Artist

Me: Where are you from?

J. Corsentino: I am originally from NY, which at times I miss but right now I live in Los Angeles and I love it. 1. It has versatility in its look and style, being the birthplace of noir; it's both dark, and shady and shiny and glitzy. B. There is so many talented artists who are working as hard as I am in pursuing their dreams. Being around their energy and determination pushes me too. III. I rarely have to cancel a shoot on account of rain and all my stuff is here.

Me: Are you married? Do you have children?

J. Corsentino: I am married to Donny, less than four months now, loving it, loving her; she's my partner in crime. Cat children, yes. Three psycho cats who take all of my free time up; Willow, Shadme, and Longshanks.

Me: What do you like to do for fun?

J. Corsentino: Going to the movies, good food, good music venues here in Los Angeles, and go and visit the galleries and museums of the area.

Me: What did you do before deciding to pursue art as a career?
