1. What's your story? Where are you from?

My name is Sunny B. Yazdani. I was born and raised in Tehran,Iran and I moved to Savannah.GA 4 years ago to persuade my master degrees in illustration and Motion Media Design at SCAD.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I love telling story about the uncanny people,places and worlds. However, it could also be slightly different approach, more realistic,charming and family oriented.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

I have a lot favorites! Honestly, I'm quite comfortable with Digital painting such as Photoshop and Illustrator because it's more faster and I'd be able to get the works done in tight deadlines, otherwise I love watercolor and collage.

4. What is your artistic process like?

I start with sketches and thumbnails for Illustrations and storyboards for Motion pieces. In illustration pieces, I figure my color pallet first.Then once ideas and color fit, I scan the sketches and start painting on top of that. I might use the reference photos to do some research in between, in case if I need to check something out. It would be same direction with motion design as well, although I have to move the assets. I cannot do anything before writing down all my idea in planner.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

I'm inspired by a lot of things in daily life. It could be nature, city and building or people (Normal and artists). I always look for the exotic and narrative theme. Also I love looking around the books, quotes and inspiring animations on Vimeo.

6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?

It is my whole world! because it is only thing I'm good at and I absolutely enjoy it a lot. It makes me to appreciate everything around me whether is good or bad.

7. Where did you study?

9. What about in ten?

In ten years!? it's really hard to say, but I would love to end up as Senior Art Director or Creative Director and open my own studio.

To meet wonderful people and see them smile because of my works. It would also make me better artist and designer.
