My artistic process involves pens, gesso, acrylic paint, and markers, all on vellum. I use a window painter's technique and paint on the backside of my image before I mess with the front.

I don't do the like, "This led to this, and this was why this happened." That doesn't feel real and isn't how I experience things.

I didn't really have a major role in how it was described. I wanted it to be a collection of essays where each storyline could be contained.

The thing about writing or making art is that I'm not thinking about that stuff while I'm doing it. Like the driver's ed kid, in retrospect I see that that was meaningful, and I felt close to him in that way, but at the time I just thought it was fun to draw, and that's all it was. I think that's what's weird about life and about making art. You have to talk about it later. I guess I should be prepared to talk about it now. That is why I'm here. But again, pass.

I like being around funny people.

I do think that people yearn for connection and intimacy, and that they're hard things to achieve.
