Why do you do what you do?

Drawing is okay, but I like the feeling of accomplishment and stuff once it's completed. Besides, I'm told that I'm not half bad at it.

Where do you get your ideas & topics from?

The sarcastic wit around me that occurs in my everyday life and tasteless jokes.

Which piece are you most proud of/which do you enjoy the most?

I have a couple of drawings in my sketchbook that aren't even related to comics. They're illustrations of poems written by a friend. The pictures themselves are pretty mediocre, but I like taking a break from comics once in a while.

What are your "forbidden" topics? (what won't you write [draw] about)

I try to avoid any type of inequality, but I don't think I'm doing a very good job of that. Nudity, too. There's just something about drawing a pair of jugs that makes me sort of uneasy.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Away from the cold weather. Hopefully not spending the majority of my day at the computer.

Words of Advice...

"Drink your school, stay in drugs, and don't do milk."
