Q+A
Is science or art more essential to humanity?
Do you expect me to say art because I'm an artist? Do you think I have some sort of animosity for science because I'm an artist? I don't like this question.
Which language would you like to speak fluently?
Probably French since there are a lot of Nova Brittianians that read my work and I'd like to be able to put some of my pieces out in French. Also, I think it's a lovely-sounding language.
Is justice or forgiveness more important?
I am quite a fan of justice. Even though my brand of justice is giving you a silly-looking face in one of my comics.
What's your favorite dessert?
Growing up in Hazel Town made me really appreciate the hazelnut and I absolutely LOVE hazelnut cookies.
If you could be brilliant in one subject, which would you choose?
I'm not sure if it's what the question had in mind, but I'd really like to broaden my artistic skills by also being good at watercolors. I'm confident in my comic drawing abilities but I'm a bit hard on myself when it comes to my abilities elsewhere.
What's the most beautiful place you've ever seen?
I really like visiting Welcome Square during the holidays as it's a nice feeling of nostalgia I remember going there with my parents during the holidays as it was one of our few times going into the city.
What's your favorite fast food meal?
Honestly, if I'm in a position where I'm getting fast food, it's likely because I'm hungover and therefore the greasiest food from the place I'm ordering from is the best.
What do you dream your life will be like in 10 years?
I'm still debating if settling down is something I want to do in my life but I do know that I'd like to either be head of my department or have my own magazine.
Which of your personality traits would you like to change?
Maybe I'm a bit too eager to get a joke in on some people just when I'm in my casual life. It is a bit rude. Normally people pay me for my wit and these people are getting it for free!
What's your dream job?
I'd love to make an animated movie one day. I like my still work, but something about seeing your work move is just wonderful.
