THESCRATCHPOST had the opportunity to catch up with Veronica Hernandez and ask a few questions about what it was like to be part of the crew on Henry Selick’s recent film, Coraline. Not only has the web blogs been buzzing about the film, but the artists themselves have been overly excited to see their hard work finally be showcased to the public. We hope you enjoy the interview, and we are very thrilled to be part of the “inside” scoop for our readers! 
Veronica Hernandez grew up in southern California and has been an artist ever since she can remember. Her parents felt like they couldn’t buy her enough paper to draw on since she would draw on everything that had empty space on it, such as inside her book covers and even inside her lampshades. Although she wanted to ultimately be an artist, she ended up with a college degree in Cultural Anthropology.

Maybe Mom was right. That was the turning point, however, and there was no turning back. Like pointing your skis down your first Black Diamond, the journey may be rough, but you have no choice but to continue in the very direction you’ve started.

Last week, while adding books to our recommendation list, we realized that it had been way too long since we caught up with Ron Brinkmann. We decided to send him an email and ask if he would like to send us some “treats” for our readers. To our joy, not only did he send us some great content to share with you, but also will be a featured artist in the near future.. so keep your eyes peeled for the “Artist Spotlight” feature as soon as he gets some time to breathe!
