| Living in the now. How has this journey changed you? Or is this a case of do as I say and not as I do? The struggle is real! |
| At this moment you are 90%+ funded with 7 days left to go. Are you still living in the now? |
| I love the idea of campaigning for Land of NOW as not only a product for the enduser but as a book to donate to schools or libraries. Brilliant. Was that a success approach for the pledges so far? Or is that yet to be revealed? |
| How is the Library presence in the UK? |
| How did you and Katie Mullaly meet? What is the process for your collaborations? She is in Utah. You are in the UK! is that a problem? |
| Can i start at Land of NOW or do I need the other Land of.. books to get the complete picture? |

| Did you go to school for art / illustration? |
| Publishing, games, children’s books oh my…are there any markets you haven’t tapped that give you a thrill? Maybe some VR? |
| Tell us about Creature Feature on Instagram? |
| Can you tell us about Real Monsters and it’s inspiration. What are you hoping the result will be? |
| Process |
| Do you work mostly digital? Traditionally? |
| How do you approach choosing colors for your work? They’re really unique. |
| What are the essential elements to your character design? |
| How important are the “little things” to your process? |
| Comment not question: Work strikes me as having complex shape design/language but quite simple on the detail side of things. |
| Games |
| Can you tell us about Alice Legends? I love Alice! |
| Did I foolishly purchase Kindle editions of Oz series and Alice on Amazon for .99 cents when it’s free on Gutenberg? |
