Conversations with Collin Reynolds

Today we’d like to introduce you to Collin Reynolds

Hi Collin, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Been drawing all my life, but a series of happy accidents has hilariously enough lead me to a life of art.

From finding a medium I never expected to dive head first into, Getting into a Car Accident & Losing a bet to an old friend that started my streaming career or swallowing my pride and trying digital art which has opened even more doors that I could’ve ever imagined.

“Sometimes we take the long way around to figure out who we’re always meant to be”.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all, there’s a lot of self doubt and financial struggle that comes with it especially early on.
If you’re lucky enough to produce a product that people love immediately you may not have to worry too much about keeping yourself afloat on your art solely, or perhaps burnout and blowing up too fast becomes your issue. Sometimes those close to you that you want to cheer you on won’t, but that’s all part of the journey isn’t it?

I believe part of what makes us artists and our vision unique are the differences in hardships we endure and share with the world through our eyes.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I make realistic nerdy/wrestling oil & digital paintings.
I’m more known these days for painting professional wrestlers, so I guess you could say I’m good at painting portraits. If I had to guess, I’d say my level of detail is what sets me apart (maybe speed these days as well). What I’m most proud of honestly is how fast I’ve been able to pick up digital in the past 2 years and how each medium really blend into one another.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Just whatever you want to do creatively, give all of yourself to it
The kid in you won’t regret it
