1. Me: What is your favorite kind of bubble?

Drew: Soap bubbles, because they have rainbows in them.

2. Me: What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning?

Drew: Nothing, I usually stay in bed until I'm not tired anymore. well, I guess people motivate me to get out of bed. I get out of bed to be with people.

3. Me: What in pop culture would you say most motivates your artwork the most( e.g. music,

film, literature, etc.)?

Drew: I am really influenced by pop culture Dragon Ball Z, Cartoons in general are really magical! Hayao Miyazaki's films,Spirited Away, are super influential(.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0594503/.) Music is also definately a tool in creating my art. I listen to music a lot while I draw. Usually what I is drawn from observations in my life.
