School Project, Becoming a concept artist

[shadow]

Hi everyone. As part of my grade 12 year in highschool, one of the projects is to research a career I wish to enter. Since concept design and graphic design are my major interest for a career, I am interviewing concept designers. The only problem is that Saskatoon has a very little concept art community. I was wondering if any concept artists or designers who are in the industry would be available for an internet interview as to how they got into concept art etc. The interview would be me sending you a series of questions. I would really appreciate anyone who is willing. If yes, you can contact me at pazshadow@hotmail.com
Thanks for listening, any help would be appreciated

You'll probably learn much more by doing a web search for "Concept Art Career," and then researching some of the links you find. There are many articles about various CA's, with history, motivations, etc.

You'll also find job statistics as to salaries, percentage of employment, etc.

Should be an interesting project. Good Luck!

Thanks madster, but the reason i asked for interviews is i need them as references, i gotta talk to actual people.:)

Thanx Jens, i dont really have a specific artist in mind. I've tried contacting some of the up and ups, but no responses, seeing as they are really busy i can understand.:)
