1
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:10,240
I've been drawing pretty much all my life.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,340
Comic books were definitely kind of
one of my dreams growing up.

00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:16,960
I was kind of just self-taught.

4
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:18,900
I kind of joke that I finished

5
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:21,740
my PhD in Geomicrobiology and then went back to

6
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:24,380
being a 14-year old in my pajamas
drawing

7
00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:26,400
[Laughs] comics in my bedroom.

8
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:32,040
Just drawing and drawing and drawing
until my hands are shaking and sore.

9
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:37,540
Llike, it takes months, sometimes longer for me to kind
of look back see it with fresh eyes

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,860
and be like "Oh... it actually worked." [Laughs]
