For which I did an interview. 8D [link]

`kangel has put together a nice assortment of interviews and articles for #projecteducate! Visit her journal for a complete list.

Probably the most important part of the interview for me was finally putting in to words how I feel about TG. TG is a success because the comic I draw after it will be better. I treasure all support TG receives, but the thing I most want TG's readers to understand is that TG isn't just the beginning of maybe a longer series. It's the beginning of me as a cartoonist. You don't just support this random project. You support my development as a creator. Without TG, I won't be able to draw something better in the future. Please view TG as the rough beginning of a possibly great creator, not the crowning accomplishment of a mediocre creator. ;_; (But I guess you should check back with me in a few years to see if I'm right about my future.)

I've never figured out how to say that bit before. That's honestly how I feel, there.

ALSO, HOW JERKY IS IT OF ME TO ADORE THAT SOMEONE REJECTED MY INTERVIEW?!?! I actually said something worth clicking the reject button over. I'd rather have people click the like button, but being controversial is just as artistic, right? Perhaps it's the part where I said if I have to pick what's more important, art or story, I pick art?! :P

It's bothersome to have to pick one or the other, it's a comic. They're pointedly united into one entity.

But fine, if I gotta pick ....

I won't completely subvert the question by saying "BOTH! C: TEEE HEEE!"

And I can't say story. Because if I said the story was the most important part, then WHY OH WHY am I doing a full color comic? I could tell this story three times as fast and just as well in black and white.

SO ART IT IS. If I have to pick one over the other. It takes the most time, easily.

But maybe that isn't why someone rejected the article. Maybe they just accidentally clicked it. That would be sad. I love being disagreed with. I'd be highly dissatisfied if it was an accidental rejection.

So anyway.

Check out the interview [link] if you like. And please fav it if you enjoyed it to show support of project educate. 8D (or reject it, if you feel so inclined. :P)

I enjoyed reading the interview! And I've gotta say, although I don't want to pursue a career/degree in art, you inspire me to be a better creator. 8)

I... I love Sailor Moon. ;_; It introduced me to anime, then manga, then Japanese culture, and is the reason that I started drawing as a hobby and not just when I was bored during tests. I AM SO HAPPY THAT SUCH AN EPIC ARTIST ALSO HAD HER BEGINNINGS WITH SAILOR MOON. :iconcryforeverplz:

I hate it when people ask me the "art vs. story" question. That's like saying "what makes a good movie? Story or explosions?" Obviously, a good story carries the piece, but without cool stuff like explosions, things can get boring. I guess my point is WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE?? I CAN MAKE A PIECE WITH BOTH GOOD ART AND STORY AND I DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE, SO SUCK ON THAT!

Sorry to rant. It's been a bad day.

I feel exactly this way, but take away explosions, insert boobs.

Aw, Jules had a bad day at the office? What happened?

Just had to endure a tsunami of stupid with a flood of backstabbing. I'm in a marriage of convenience with my job. The only reason why I stick around is the money.

I guess there isn't a similar job somewhere that you would prefer more?

Would it make you feel better to know that if I manage to remain on task, I'll finish the Priss painting tonight? 8D ... IF. Big if.

Absolutely love the answer to your last question. Couldn't have been better said!

(Though, for me, I went to Art Center College of Design...... I would have wanted to go to SCAD, but I didn't find out about that school until I already was about a year into my ACCD undergrad :/

And through Art Center, if I had to do it again, I would! :faint: Even if the student loans are astronomical.... there is no way I could learn what I did through that school)

You mean: "I'd endure Art Center again!"...? ^.^;;

I want to say I'm thankful at all for my eju-ma-cation, TEE HEE. But yeah, a forceful reply is better, otherwise you sound like a politician... ;;;

Even though you love being disagreed with, I 100% agree with you on the "artwork vs. story" question.

I read your interview, it was great!! 8D I really liked everything you had to say about what you feel TG is. It was quite inspiring really <3
and the part about which is better, story or art XD I hope that wasn't why someone rejected your interview! haha I think it may just have been an accident since 'add to favourites' and 'reject' are right next to each other!

Nice reading what you think about your own work :3 :heart:
