My art style is influenced equally by Western cartoons and Japanese anime; I find religious and folk art particularly inspiring as well. I also derive a lot of inspiration from the art that my friends and family create and the
music I like to listen to.
As for my writing, I use a lot of Hermetic and alchemical texts as references for
The Laconic Student's Dilemma’s in-universe magic system; Jungian psychology and popular animated films have also helped me sketch out how characters should behave and why. As for the story itself, what I really want to achieve with my writing is to create a story akin to the works of Robert Anton Wilson.
In general, a lot of my writing and art has been influenced by my personal belief system and my own experiences with magic and dreaming.
Will you ever make comics again?
Probably not, it was fun while it lasted but I got burnt out pretty quickly. I’ve decided that going forward, any stories I want to tell will be conveyed in a fully-written format for the sake of my sanity.
How did you learn to make art?
I took a basic art class when I was in middle school since I was required to, but I never paid attention to any of the lessons and I admittedly did not learn very much. Everything important I’ve either taught myself or learned through trial and error.
How did you make this website?
With
Neocities and a very limited knowledge of HTML/CSS leftover from my Tumblr custom theme layout days.
Can I copy the code from your website to make my own?
It’s fine. I can’t really stop anyone from doing this, and my layout isn’t super original anyway. If you choose to do this, please try to at least make it somewhat unique and not a 1:1 clone of my website.
What does ‘The Laconic Student's Dilemma’ even mean, anyway?
It’s a long story. Maybe one day I will explain it to everyone!
