The Artist's Interview (Beta)

I've come up with a list of 22 questions that I have been and will continue to send out to friends in the arts community. Last night, I emailed a test drive version of the survey to some great people and I can't wait to post the responses.

Once I firm up the logistics of the project, I'll be casting a wider net with the survey and adding a few twists. In the meanwhile, here's a sneak peek at the questions. And, of course, if you feel inclined to fill out the questionnaire, you can copy and paste the questions in an email to tolentinoed.artwork@gmail.com or reply by commenting on this post.

Enjoy!
