What exactly did you do on adventure time? I dont get it. Also my google skillz seem to suck.

I co-boarded

with Jesse Moynihan

(wrote the jokes/dialog and did the drawings the animation was based on) an episode called Jermaine.  It was fun. 

If you're drawing a comic over a long period of time, how do you combat your style changing. How do you keep the style exactly the same the whole way through? Or is this something that you don't really have a problem with anymore now that you're more seaso

I think it’s perfectly ok or even preferred to let your style evolve over the course of a comic. If it’s art let it be art.

Is it true you are drawing an issue of the Wicked and the Divine?? Anyway keep up the good work :)

YES! , I’m doing the last issue of the guest artist issues. I think I’m starting drawing it in December. Needless to say I’m realllly excited to work on it. I like (lovvee) that book and Jamie and Kieron are alright I guess..

I’ve been spoiled in recent years to only take on side jobs that I feel passionate about –with Adventure time, Adam Warren’s Empowered and Wik + Div all being things that I was a fan of before getting asked to do work on. 

Will Island Magazine ever be taking submissions, or is it always just going to be you and your buddies?

I’m not really interested in doing submissions and rejections because that can eat up a lot of time– but I’m always excited to see new work by people. If anyone wants to show me what they’re up to that is more than cool. (the majority of artists in Island are people who I met through the internet because I liked their work) 

what's your relationship with brandon graham?

Here’s a handy visual summary (provided by Brandon).

Arclight (8house#1) is so rad. Marian Churchland’s art is so inspiring, so here’s my tribute. Can’t wait for more!

What's the target age group for Island Magazine? I know Multiple Warheads contains (or used to contain) heavy sexual imagery. I was just wondering how much nudity, violence, or profanity you expect to feature. I understand it will likely vary.

I’d read something where Moebius talks about when artists who have worked in restrictive environments are given total freedom they’ll often jump into doing the most violent or sexual or drug riddled thing they can think up– but making real mature work is about growing past just that.

That’s kind of the aim with a lot of what’s in Island.

I don’t think anyone is aiming for anything gratuitous– but at the same time I want everyone involved to make comics for grown folks.–or for themselves. 

There’s not much in the way of sex in the 1st couple issues. By Issue #6 there’s a gay pride parade story by Onta with some sex in it. I think there’s some cannibalism in #2.  (hey kids 

cannibalism ?)

I have such a bad gauge for figuring out any age range, I drew my penis on the bio page.
