feels kinda object
I don't really have a metaphor for how I write, but it kinda feels like chipping away at a big dark object that I can't really see.
against anyone battles crappy fine forces lines people sets trying
I don't think anyone ever sets out to make a crappy movie, but there are a lot of forces working against those people who are trying to make something decent. There are a lot of fine lines to walk and small battles to fight.
'Seconds' is very much about reaching out for the next thing after you've figured out the first thing.
I just don't think I can write someone drastically younger than me.
life passed people places seen
The places I've been, or passed through, or seen at a distance, have had as much an impact on my life as the people I've known.
people
Seeing people cosplaying my characters is always a blast.
I've had so many little ideas I've written down here and there. Some ideas I've got reams of notes for.
I really like the look of old '70s and '80s Japanese comics, so I think that style is something I will continue to draw.
grew moved
I grew up in London, Ontario, and moved to Toronto when I was 22 or 23.

Tumblr culture and the whole reappropriation-without-context thing are a double-edged sword in that they both raise awareness of my work and also kind of devalue it at the same time.
fairy grounded plenty restaurant takes tale town version
'Seconds' is grounded in the reality of this restaurant environment, and I did do plenty of research, so there's that. It takes place in a town that is like a kinder, gentler fairy tale version of reality. Then it takes off into a story that is very strange, very mental.
compelled drawn serious stories strongly
I just have this thing in my head that I want to do serious stories that are still just way too cute and drawn in a really cute, appealing, rounded, childish way, and it's like, I don't know if it makes sense - but it's just something I'm really strongly compelled to do.
information
When I was a kid, I desperately wanted more background information on especially cartoonists.
comic entertain
I didn't expect 'Scott Pilgrim' to be successful. I just made this weird comic to entertain my friends.
