thelitterboxbrigade asked: This is a rather obvious question. On a scale of one to ten, what would you say POJU has a much influence in your work? And what's your opinion on having a influence in general?
He’s pretty high up there. It ebbs and flows but is never lower then a 5. Hes been pretty persistently important for the past 5 years.
I’m always amazed that any of my work has any reach. I feel perhaps the value I have for my own art is pretty low. I’m always delighted to see someone inspired to draw and when I feel that’s something I’ve helped do, that’s where I take pride.
That and when someone tells me my art or stories helped them feel good about who they are or what they want to be. I couldn’t ask for bigger compliment.
