How did you get this passion?

I began drawing pictures of family and friends and I have now started drawing pictures of StarCraft 2. I have been dabbling in doodling since I was young. My pictures are very simple but I think they have a lot of character and expression.

Starcraft2 fan huh? How did you get this?

I am a very big fan of the game StarCraft 2. How I first learned about Starcraft 2 is through my Zerg playing husband. Starcraft 2 is his favorite game and luckily he found someone who is (almost) as enthusiastic about gaming as he is. I sat and watched him play and thought the units were great. I figured maybe I can draw them my way and see how it goes. I think my drawings are cute and I mostly have fun doing them. I get a lot of help from my husband with the look of the units and sometimes it is very hard to get them right, but it is worth it in the end. Since I have started, I have made drawings for people in France, Ukraine, Ireland, England, Korea, Romania, Costa Rica and Sweden.

Is there a particular event you would like to share related to your passion for starcraft2?

My husband and I went to Providence, RI to see the finals of Major League Gaming and it was FANTASTIC. I made posters of EG HuK, EG IdrA, Slayers BoxeR and Liquid TLO, which are now all signed by the players. I have a list of very awesome moments, but one of my favorites was seeing Slayers BoxeR look at my poster, smile, oooh and then sign it. I met a lot of the players from Liquid, and other teams.

Do you have a favorite player or a favorite team ?

My favorite player was Liquid TLO, which I met and was so unbelievably happy.
My favorite team is Evil Geniuses and I met Sir Scoots, Alex Garfield, Machine, InControl, HuK, Idra, LZGamer and last but not least the beautiful Anna. I have to say that everyone from team EG was so wonderfully nice, kind and generous, a great group of people. I was a crazy, excited person meeting them, and they in-turn were very patient with me.
