I was a really big fan of cartoons growing up, and I loved to read too much into them most of the time.
I love thinking of cartoon characters feeling really real feelings. And I love to do that, not just as a fan, but as a creator, so if people want to look for those levels, they're actually there.
You can't wait for someone to give you a show. That can't be the first time you're writing and drawing a character.
I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.
I'm really inspired by the show 'Future Boy Conan' from the '70s. It's a really beautiful show, and I love shonen anime and shojo anime, and I like the thought of mixing them together.
I admire 'Adventure Time' for being a piece of art in the way that I think art should be. If you want to see it is poetry, you can, and if you don't, you can watch a fun cartoon.
