I noticed two main color themes in your portfolio; bright, bold, often complimentary palettes and softer, dark, subtle palettes. How did you find yourself drawn to these color choices? Inspiration? |

|
Why demons? Or to be specific, why tell a story from a demons point of view? |

How far ahead do you write The Girl From Hell City? |

|
Your illustrations almost always have a fantasy element to them. Do you read a lot of fantasy fiction? Any favourite authors? |
Joel |
|
|
Can you talk about your creative process a bit? All digital? Mixed media? What are your favourite tools? |

You’ve done some short story comics like Don’t Let Go. Personal project? Tell us how that came to be. |

Counting Stars is a touching story and a great thing to have as your first finished comic. What prompted you to make it a web comic? |

|
What was the online response like? |
Joel |

Princess & Princess: Have you ever dreamed of being a princess? Phase? Were you ever a tomboy? Do you have royal family over in NZ? |

Gender roles is a pretty hot topic in comics, hell in all entertainment right now, why are we so fascinated with this new character angle? |
Brian |
|
|
When I was growing up it was all about understanding the other gender. Now it seems we are exploring our own gender definitions and insecurities. |

What is your take on Yahoo Serious? Peter Jackson? Have you ever been to Weta? Seen any Hobbits? Is NZ a fantasy land? Local stories? |

Princess & Princess: I like the idea that the is more than a physical bond of the the tower that holds our damsel in distress |

Given the number of webcomics you’ve made, I’m assuming you’re one of those people with dozens of ideas swimming around their heads? |
