What is a Featured Creator?

Write Way Studio’s “Featured Creator” segment is my way of showing appreciation for the creators of the world.  Creative outlets are limitless, because there is no end to human imagination.  Every month shows the succeeding featured creator.  If you would like to be a part of this collaborative project, contact me at [email protected]!

Time for a quick update to the segment: that my Featured Creators will be holding two months instead of one after our one year mark!

My twelfth guest creator is an artist known as SinG, marking the one year anniversary of my Featured Creator segment!

Introduction

She is Gabriella Sinopoli to normal people.  But with her art, she is known as SinG, a nickname is a mishmash of her surname and the first letter of her first name.  On July 26th this year, she turned thirty-three years old.  Her biggest job yet?  Being a mom!

She mentioned that her official job, though, is being a “Comic Colorist.”  While she is a freelancer, she mostly works for an “art studio [called] Arancia Studio.”  She has also has worked as a colorist and/or an assistant with Italian editors, such as Panini Comics!  For a comic recently released in the United States by Image Comic named Unnatural by “the wonderful and amazing artist Mirka Andolfo,” she revealed that she “was also one of the assistants [for the comic].”  Currently, she is an assistant colorist for a comic with a French editorial house called Glènat.

With concerns to her education, she participated in an art school affiliated with her high school.  But university stayed out of reach.  So she is mostly self-taught!  A few things she’s learned with her job, on the other hand, revealed what truly matters:  “what you can do, being serious . . . [and staying] punctual with the deadlines.”

What Sparked the Creator Passion?

A Little Dream with a Big Spark

When asked this question in particular, Gabriella recalled how “I drew ever since I can remember [with] a strong passion for cartoons and videos games.”  As she grew older, she realized that she wanted to work in comics.  Unfortunately, her high school teachers were unsupportive and attempted to discourage her from that path.  So instead of what she wanted, she diverted and “[focused on] graphic and web design.”

But she never gave up her dream for one second.  And when the opportunity arrived for her to make it a reality, she took it!  She has a lot of catching up to do, or as she put it “still running and working hard every single day so that one day I’ll realize my dream, which is to make y very own comic published.”

Comic Encouragement

When she was eight, she read a manga for the first time, Dragon Ball Volume 25.  After that pivotal read, she became more interested in the comics universe.  She has a particular passion for shonen (or young boy) manga, as she is “very addicted to Boku no Hero Academia, the masterpiece of the amazing Horikoshi Kohei.”  The series is known as My Hero Academia in English.  While she has mostly read manga most of her life, another influence of hers happens to be the U.S. comic companies like Marvel and D.C., both of which focus on super humans and heroics.

When it comes to artists, she noted how “I find inspiration in [arts that] appeal [to] me.”  As her dream is coming to fruition, nevertheless, she has been strongly influenced by Mirka Andolfo, the previously mentioned creator of the comic Unnatural.   She admires her, from her determination, dedication, and staying humble.  SinG thinks that this should be a standard that artists reach for, of people admiring and using the admiration to reach for what they want.  There is a huge list of artists she admires.

Her close friend and artist extraordinaire “RaRo, or Rosalia Radosti,” helped to fill the gaps in her artistic training and continues to do so.  She is also a pillar of support for her in the dark moments of doubt.  Then there is her husband and children, all very important in her life as she reaches her goals!

The following is her final statement that concluded the matter: “Having people that support you is really one of the best things one can hope for, but [it] also [gives you the] boost you need to go on and run, as fast as you can, to reach your dreams.”

Future Projects

Believe it or not, SinG wants to create her own comic!  She is currently hard at work to bridge the gap of necessary experience to make it a reality, especially with adequately adding to her work portfolio.  For now, she practices her art style.  She plans on also creating a few fan-made comics for things she loves.

Hopefully, she will be hired as a comic colorist in the near future for comic editorials or a comic company.

Last Tidbits

In the words of Gabriella, she is an “incurable fangirl.”  When anything catches her eye, she cannot fight the urge to fan-art like crazy!  Amusingly, when it comes to romantic or sensual moments in her artwork, her face remains ablaze and shifts continuously from one weird face to another during the entire drawing process.  The job will get done either way.  But she wishes so much for no one to see her as she draws it!

To Gabriella,

I really appreciate you working with me on this segment.  I know it was crammed, much more than what is most likely recommended (or dared.)  Despite the problems, it was still a lot of fun to learn more about you as both a person and an artist.  You have a detailed style and distinctive coloring method that I cannot help but adore!  You also happen to be one of my inspirations to getting back into my art again and staying confident with myself in what I do.  It has been a long year for me, and I think encountering you and your work really helped to put me in perspective.  I thank you for that, even if you did that unknowingly.

I can only hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!  Maybe if I finally manage to visit Italy, we can have a proper obsession session about All Might.  I know that you will do so much for the art world, one fan art at a time.

Sincerely,

Jasmine Love
