After moving to United States in 2012 I started going to an amazing art studio for painting nights and got more involved in the artistic community.Įven though I say I’m self-taught I’m thankful to have received great advice from other artists like Ana Martinez with whom I partnered to create the illustrations for Wingspan, and my husband who is always a tough critic, in a good way. Sometimes they’d share tools and materials that I would get and use on my next little project. I started to follow some great artists like Jay Depalma and Ileana Hunter on social media. In addition to birding I'm an all around nature geek: I'm on the board of the local mushroom club and I help my spouse with his landscape design work.Īfter my epiphany I decided to try to get better at drawing and I just knew I needed to take my time and work slow to get the level of detail I like.

I moved here to work for the federal government, but now I'm a freelance consultant, which gives me some flexibility to do game design work and also to travel. I do commission art work and Wingspan is my first big gig as a freelancer illustrator.Įlizabeth: I'm Elizabeth Hargrave, and I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC. My family and my art are the most important things in my life. I do jewelry, watercolor painting, yoga, gym, and of course color pencil drawing. I have a curious mind and like to learn about everything, so I read a lot and jump from one hobby to another. I’m a dedicated mother and work around their schedules as I don’t want to miss out in their childhood. I’ve been married for 13 years and we have two daughters (ages 7 and 4) and a cute puppy named Pinto. I am a 33-year old artist from Medellin, Colombia, currently living St. I have 2 cats that demand quite a bit of time and attention as well. In addition to designing games, playing games, and doing a lot of business-related stuff, I love to cook and try new food (and old favorites) at local restaurants, watch movies, read fiction, and play/watch soccer. Louis, Missouri, which is a fairly large midwestern city.
#WINGSPAN GAME FULL#
I run this company full time from my home-office in St. Jamey: I’m Jamey Stegmaier, and for the last 6 years I’ve run a board game publishing company called Stonemaier Games. Thanks for joining me! For our readers who aren't aware of your work could you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do? Today I'm being joined by Jamey Stegmaier (Publisher/Developer), Elizabeth Hargrave (Designer) and Natalia Rojas (Artist), who will be telling us more about the gorgeous new release Wingspan. I’ve included a few links to the Wingspan print shop but there’s no affiliate links or money changing hands, I just figured you’d all be interested. Initially this was an interview with just Jamey and Natalia but Elizabeth kindly jumped in at the last minute with some extra insight. EDITORS NOTE: Of course when Wingspan flew onto all our radars I very much wanted to know more.
