I don't think you have that problem.

For those who may have not heard of you and know your work and know what I'm talking about, how would you introduce yourself?

I think we can just finish the interview now.

You just literally just beautifully said everything that you do.

I'm like, thank you.

I don't think you can summarise it in any better way, but I love how you described the way you feel about your work and what you've combined together because...

I'm sure you would agree that in some of the instances, like being an illustrator, being a graphic designer, sometimes you go, is this a destination?

Am I doing this thing right?

Where is the future?

Whereas the future I see in the way that you do or the future that has become in what you do has not actually lent itself to combine all of these things together.

So in my habit of taking things back, how do we trace back the interest into graphic design, into illustration, into you beginning to do what you do now?

When you think about it, it's only like in the English alphabet is 26 characters plus numbers.

When you think about it in the octave of music, there's only 12 tones or 12 notes and it's endless.

And the way you portray these experiments and these ways of doing this, the limitation is so vast.

but the expression's even bigger because you can do so many things with it.

I want to ask you about when you said, I was a middle ground.

And I think what I'm getting from this is that there was a time of patience that you can be the middle ground and you realize there's time to learn and there's time to step it up because being a jack-of-all-trades, some people can say there's a negative, but when you look back on it, that's exactly the toolkit that you've been collecting together because ultimately that's got you where you are now.

I like what you're saying, because the formative years, especially to people who are younger, the formative year is now for so much more pressure.

At least what I know from conversations, from social listening, the age of innocence is slightly...

lost because you either are aloof, antisocial, don't really want to be part of it, or you are really hard driven.
