This week’s chosen artist is Renato Pastor from Brazil. You can find his work on Tumblr, DevianArt and Facebook.
Here's a little about Renato:
1 . When did you become an X-Phile?
I think it was way back in '97 or '98, I think, which was the first time I caught a glimpse of the show late at night on TV. Right from the moment I saw it, I knew it was something special that I had to follow.
2. What is the first episode you watched?
It's hard to remember, because after all, it's been almost 20 years. It may possibly have been the one about the Nephilim, 'All Souls'. It was so creepy, and the atmosphere so eerie. Granted, it's got nothing to do with aliens, but The X-Files had in their 'monster of the week' episodes some of the best in the series, I think.
