Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you allow your artwork to be used in Signature tags?

A: You can currently purchase my sets for Sig Tag use at CILM

Q: What happened to the web store?

A: I decided that making and selling things was a huge distraction from my real job, which is designing things and getting other people to make and sell them. I have a running list on the news page of places where you can still buy my products.

Q: I'm a retailer and would like to know how to get Evilkid products wholesale for my store.

A: You can get stickers, buttons and more wholesale from Net Sales, look under "evilkid" for their whole line of products.

Q: Do you have a banner so I can link to your site?

A: I have them in all shapes and sizes here.

Q: Can I get a tattoo of one of your images?

A: You bet! Just do us both a favor and get a good tattoo artist to do it. No matter how cool your boyfriend/Buddy who just bought the tattoo kit might seem, don't let him "practice" on you while he's drunk. Lets not forget that a tattoo is an important life decision and a bad tattoo is bad forever. Also, my open permission for tattoos does not mean you can copy my images and sell them as flash!

Q: What medium do you work in? How do you do your illustrations?

A: Most of the work you see on this site was hand drawn, inked with pen, scanned and then colored in either photoshop or illustrator.

Q: Do you hire freelance artists/designers for projects?

A: At the moment, all the art is done in-house.

Q: Can I hire you to do illustration for me?

A: Please do us both a favor and don't. I actually really, really hate drawing, so you aren't doing me a favor...you're torturing me. If you can pay me more than $1000, however, I can maybe deal with torture.

Q: Are you still doing Kitty and Robot comics?

A: Theoretically, yes, but I tend to produce them kind of sporadically. It tends to fall low on the priority list being as the're free and only like 30 people read them.

Q: Are the Kitty and Robot comics available in any kind of printed form?

A: Not yet.

Q: How many people work for Evilkid Productions?

A: In our heyday, There were 4 people. Now it is just me (A.V.), although Mike C. is still here in spirit, if not in body.

Q: What's up with the name "Evilkid?"

A: Long ago, in film school, a guy named Eric was making a video adaptation of "Faust" and had done pages and pages of meticulously rendered storyboards. On one page, there was a detailed drawing of a child's face with the caption "CU: Evil child", in the next panel, there was a smiley face with Devil horns with the caption "CU: Other Evil Kid." His excuse was something like, "well, it was going to be the same as the previous picture and I didn't want to draw it again." A.V. Phibes found this very comical and started calling herself "Evilkid Productions" with a devil smiley face as the logo--an image which she feels embodies the "impish" spirit that Evilkid Productions stands for.

Q: What's up with all the devils?

A: It seemed like the most logical thing for Evilkid Productions to make. Also, they're fun and easy to draw.

Q: Are you trying to promote Satanism?

A: Here at Evilkid Productions, our interest in the devil is purely aesthetic and not theological. We actually believe in wholesome, old fashioned values.
