I have to ask, was there anything that drew you to incorporate game elements into your art, i.e stats, traits, health bars, etc? Y'know, with your animations and stuff. You seem to enjoy that sort of framing device.

Well I would argue that for the animations, it's a completely separate thing, which I won't get into here, as that stuff gets more than enough attention on its own without devoting time to it on my increasingly rare attempts at real art.

For my actual art, all I can really say is that I've been playing games for 30 years and I find them to be a unique and effective storytelling medium. And in general I often imagine my stuff if it were converted into some type of game, and how it would be handled, anything from this, to the old Skater Rat stuff.
