When it comes to his creative process, the artist says there’s no single starting point for his comics.
“It really depends. Sometimes the punchline sticks out in my head, and I’ll mold a situation around it to fit for maximum delivery. Other times, they start out as vague concepts that need some fine-tuning to figure out exactly what I’m trying to convey.”
For the cartoonist, blending absurd humor with darker or ironic endings is a defining part of his work.
“I think that’s almost essential to the kind of cartooning I really enjoy. Juxtaposing simplified art or situations with a spicy bite or a quick punch is what really completes the entrée.”
Timing, he explains, is what makes simple visuals and sudden twists actually land.
“Timing is damn near everything, especially when I work on animations. A good joke can do wonders, but the delivery is what can make it flop completely or amplify it to viral status, getting shared and copy-pasted to the masses.”
Looking back, the creator sees his sense of humor as something that has evolved while staying true to its roots.
“It feels like something that’s grown alongside me over the years, especially in how I execute certain ideas and jokes. But I feel like the core of my humor has stuck with me since the very beginning. I still read and chuckle at my comics from years ago.”
