The Blind Date II event is all paired up. I was paired with the gracious and absurdly talented Whitney Jane Robinson of Alma Mater, a fantastic comic that just recently joined the ranks of the Modern Tales collective. To commemorate the event, she was interviewed by the illustrious Shaenon Garrity.

It’s painful to read Robinson’s painstaking creative process, involving multiple instances of rough sketching, scanning, inking, filtering, tweaking, merging, etc. It reminds me of how far down the quality totem pole I am. It’s almost embarrassing to answer someone who asks about my own creative process with a lackluster “I do it all in Flash. Takes me about a half hour.” Pathetic.

I admit, I’m no true artist. Robinson, however, is the real deal.
