#ScribesAndMakers 2.4 — Our next featured creator is a comic artist. Tell us about a comic strip or web comic you enjoy.
If you asked me about an artist for comics I love, I would have said Rachael Stott. But for comic strips and the like, my heart says Calvin and Hobbes or The Peanuts. Always. Reading the funnies/funny pages in the newspaper gives me an insurmountable joy.
#ScribesAndMakers 2.5 — You now have the same occupation as the main character of your current WIP (or book you are reading/last read) What job are you doing?
I'm an author! How ironic is that?! Also, I'm suddenly amazing at painting. That one's a surprise.
#ScribesAndMakers 2.6 — Our featured creator makes graphic novels. As a reader, which do you think is more important in a graphic novel, art or words?
Every single part of a graphic novel is important. But here's the thing... It would only be a novel if the art wasn't there or wasn't even worth looking at. Just food for thought.
#ScribesAndMakers 2.8 — How do you define a book? Do audiobooks and graphic novels fit your definition?
First off, I hate when people say that audiobooks don't count as reading. I roll my eyes so far back that I can see my brain. In my eyes, even comics count as reading as well. Why shouldn't they? It's ALL reading. They all count. They're all a part of the creative writing process and enjoying the work that others have labored over. It's all literature.
#ScribesAndMakers 2.10 — What is the most out-of-character creative thing you enjoy? That thing that never matches the assumptions about you.
Ooooh, what a fantastic question. My friends and family know me so well, and that makes this one really hard to answer for me. I might have to say (in reference to new friends) that it might be my affinity for #LEGO. I was featured in the magazines as a kid, had a fully built LEGO city (which was all original), even made a few sets that they sold, and still go to conventions and stuff these days. I'm a big ol' nerd.
#ScribesAndMakers 2.11 — Aside from the official birthday song and the ubiquitous Beatles song, is there a song about birthdays you like?
Does 50's In Da Club count? Because, hell yes. I'm a big fan, always have been. 🔥
#ScribesAndMakers 2.13 — How well do you sing? If you don't consider yourself a good singer, do you sing anyway?
I was in choir when I was younger and then even select choir as well. I still sing, but not *nearly* as well. I'm probably yucky now. Also, random fact, my girlfriend is actually a classically (opera) trained singer.
@floofpaldi I like that song too. And, if I were adding to this question, I would say Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder.
