Ask and I'll tell all my secrets
Well, most of them anyway, haha.

Who inspires you? Who do you aspire to be like?

A bit more of a serious one, because you've posted about it. What do you think are the most positive benefits of sobriety, and do you think it's changed your life perspective in any way? (and congratulations on it!)
At least I'm pretty sure it was you who posted about it. If not ignore the question, instead what's your favorite ice cream flavor? |
Are you musical? Can you sing or do you play an instrument?

I'll go a little at length here so for those who don't want to hear about drug addiction and near death, please skip the spoiler. Spoiler:
edit: favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry! :3 Quote:

^Remember when I said there was a period in my life where I was completely disconnected from my art? Well, that's why. I was very sick and instead of coping in positive ways like drawing, I self medicated.
It's just one of the many war stories I have from that time in my life. I'm happy to answer questions about that period or just random, silly whatever questions. I'm an open book. :) |
If you could paint a picture of any scenery you’ve seen before, what would you paint?
|
Jo you're an inspiration to everyone of us. thank you for being open about it to us, and for not giving up on life, PC wouldn't be the same without you <3
now for a more light hearted question :3 how did you get into Pokemon, and what was your favorite type before Fairy existed? |
Quote:
Edit: just asked the fiancé and it was in Mahlon Dickerson State Park. :D Another one that comes to mind is when my fiancé and I first started dating (and likewise first got sober as I was his drug dealer). He had come to my house with flowers and one of which was a tiny unopened bud. And he delicately began peeling away the leaves and petals while I watched in confusion to reveal the beautiful, purple inner stem of this flower. He said to me, "we're the only two people in the world who have ever seen this". And that stuck with me in such a profound way. I would paint those flowers and the opened bud. |
If you could do anything for the rest of your life, what would it be?

So I was first caught up in the Pokemon wave that happened in the mid-90s like every other child of the 90s, haha. I had seen classmates talk about it, watched it on TV, and eventually talked my parents into buying me the game! We had already had a Gameboy Pocket Silver because my mom liked to play Tetris on it hehe. Obviously I loved it but what really converted me into the fan I am today was the TCG. My dad had bought me a booster pack and in that pack was the legendary misprinted Ninetales with no damage counter. And when I pointed it out to him, he got down on my level and held my hand and said "take care of this forever, you never know how much it might be worth". He taught me how to start collecting things, bought me binders and sleeves and cases and everything I would need. I eventually amassed a collection that I'm very proud of and, yes, I still have the Ninetales to this day and yes my dad still support my Pokemon card collecting. In fact, he texted me yesterday saying that he picked up some Happy Meals because he knew they were doing a Pokemon card promotion lmfao. Sorry that was so long winded. Now for your second question! I actually identified exclusively as a Dark type trainer. Some of my favorites are Dark types, like Tyranitar, Scarfty, Umbreon, Weavile, Drapion, Zoroark, Absol, Houndoom, Obstagoon... I mean I can go on. It would be easier to list the Dark pokemon I don't care for lol. But yeah! Before I became unanimous with Fairies the Darklings were by babies. <333 They'll always hold a special place in my heart. Not quite like my Fairy tattoo, but in my heart nonetheless. |

What's the significance of your Sylveon tattoo? Why does the Fairy type mean so much to you?
|
Quote:
And since the TCG Fairy symbol sort of represents all of the Fairy pokemon, it just felt like the perfect fit for me. Then, I illustrated a Sylveon bow overtop of it. It represent that I need to be creative, I need to intertwine my health and my mind, that I need to stay fun and hold close things that are dear to me. Lastly, Sylveon's color palette is like the trans pride flag! And while I'm not trans myself, I am LGBTQIA+ and definitely a supporter, so there's just a little added bonus there because I want to literally wear my support on my sleeve. Here's a picture of my tattoo. Not the real one since it's still fairly new and a little bruised but this is what I sent my artist. It's a but of a subtle tattoo in that only Pokemon fans would really recognize it. Otherwise it's just a sweet looking piece to the uninitiated, haha. Spoiler:

Danielewski The Traitor Baru Cormorant - Seth Dickinson Art: Hideo Kojima Clayton Crain ...and honestly too many more to list. |
What is one of your favorite quotes?
|
Quote:
- David Bowie As an artist, that quote means a lot to me because it reminds me that I don’t need to suffer to create good work. That I don’t need to be at rock bottom to create the most profound art. And that the cliche of the ‘starving artist’ isn’t at all indicative of the value of ‘good’ art. I’m a Pre-Raphaelite and believe in art for art’s sake. That creation doesn’t need to be a reflection of reality but a reflection of one’s interpretation of reality. David Bowie puts that philosophy very succinctly. |
What would be the title of your autobiography?
|
“Effigy of Entropy - a story about the power of insignificance”
“Running from my Gay Thoughts” “Asking for Help Without Shame” |
It would be a very interesting read, that's for sure.
When are you happiest? |
