Chaykin's Shadow is a modern legend at his best.

I do my very best to not allow external trends or zeitgeists to feed into what I'm producing.

Compromise is such an integral part of being a human being. You're compromising in every decision you make.

Anybody who is afraid of reading a page of text is not the reader that I want.

Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's The Wicked + The Divine is a warp into the middle of a wildly imaginative mythology and I'm itching to read more.

Right after the 9/11 attacks I was living near Oakland in California with a buddy who had also grown up in the skate/punk scene of the 80s. We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with '80s memorabilia. We got all of our favorite skateboard decks off of eBay, bought a bunch of old independent trucks, we got a credit card so that we could buy 720 off of a videogame vendor, we sat around listening to T.S.O.L. and The Misfits playing 720 and pretending that we were still living in our childhood.

I can take strange detours and linger in places and do things that have no budgetary restraints.
