What is the process you go through in doing your art, as well as the types of tools you use: Thumbnails and storyboards are my friends! Even thumbnail storyboards. :D I work a lot with design, so I gotta get a good composition with my sketches. I use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and Cinema4D (for the 3d aspects).

What inspired you to become an artist: Watching Sailor Moon when I was a wee girl. And reading the Sunday comics in the newspaper.

What is your most favorite subject to draw/why: Any kind of goofy/awkward situation/characters. Art allows you to really push your imagination and I tend to "push it real good" when it comes to comedy.

Any tips you can give: Learn and teach as much as you can! Everyone's capable of doing anything they want as long as they learn and practice it efficiently! Belieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve in yourself!
