In the last interview with Bored Panda, when asked about what inspires him to come up with ideas for comics, Andy told us a rather amusing fact. “I get inspired by all kinds of things. It usually happens in three situations, during conversations with friends, on long walks, or as I'm drifting off to sleep."
When asked why he loves art so much and the importance of discipline when it comes to creating, the artist had some thoughts to share with us. “It's a bit like showering. Sometimes, you really don't want to, but as soon as you get in you don't want to leave. I have a similar relationship with drawing. I can go long periods of time without it, but as soon as I return to it, I remember everything I love about it and don't want to stop.”
When asked if he always aspired to be an artist, Andy told us the following, “I think so. When I was really young, I loved doodling and playing with clay. When I started school, drawing became an escape from seemingly endless boredom.”
Andy claims that he still does not view himself as a professional artist, despite the enormous fan base that eagerly anticipates each new artistic endeavor. On the other hand, he has picked up many important lessons along the way.
“The biggest challenge I've faced is learning to not pay too much attention to what people say. If 99% of the feedback is positive, my natural tendency is to look at the 1% that isn't.”
