1. Trevor von Eeden said that he learned to develop his own style by studying his own doodles. What sort of things have you observed about your own practice that you've been able to more consciously apply to your own work? I guess for me it’s in the process, most of the time when I just skip the process and planning my work normally turns out better.
2. "By making the extraordinary ordinary, it elevates your spirit." Is there an artist for you that you think exemplifies the sort of ideals von Eeden attributed to Neal Adams (similar to his analogy of what Bruce Lee would mean to a martial artist)? To be honest I’m not sure.
3. Von Eeden's work in comics developed independent of fan reaction. Has viewer response had an influence on your work? How much? Sometimes it has, but most of the time I really never pay attention to it.
4. What's more satisfying: the work? Or the piece that work produces? For me it what the work produces/the finished product.
5. Does my work tell you anything about me/my experiences? Yes, it seems your way of documenting your life in general.
6. Do you think those experiences/personal biography is even relevant to what I produce? It seems as though sometimes it is and then at times it can seem a bit more random.
7. "...I'll never stop seeing my mistakes." Does my constant self-criticism of my own work affect your opinion of a piece I've done? Not really, I sometimes do the same with my own work although most of the time I don’t let it show.
1. How would you feel and what would you do if your performance piece became an internet meme? Well that would depend on if I intended it to be one or not, if so then great, if not ten I’d probably be a little up set.
2. People have created re-mixes of this performance, as well as images--most if not all a parody of this piece. As you view this article, do those images change how you regard the initial experience of the performance? Do they inform the work, or do they dismantle it? for me it changes the meaning of it being that people are pretty much making fun of it but in general it still ends with the same message and in a way making it more abstract by dismantling it.
3. If you just witnessed a performance piece that you do not understand or do not enjoy, would you applaud? Does the level of guts it takes to do a performance {like doing anything of a socially unacceptable nature} play into it? If so, why should it? Yes, I feel that it is polite and the right thing to do even if it is bad or if I don’t like it, in a sense that person still took the time to do the performance.
4. So! Apparently you're a hipster! Are you going to try and prove them wrong or will you resign to the definition this anonymous society has given you? To be honest I really don’t care, and I can’t remember that last time I paid attention to this stuff and cared about what people told or said about me.
5. Does this make you any more or less apprehensive about putting your work online? For me it doesn’t really change anything and I would still put my work online.
6. Can an artist recover his or her respect from this kind of publicity with time? Do you think it matters in the art world? Possibly but it still depends on who the artist is to impress.
7. Do I seem to be consciously careful not to gain that sort of attention from the audience that views my work? Yes, I personally hate it when things get blown out of proportion.
8. What does my choice of this article tell you about me or my work? Do be honest I’m not sure, but it seems as though that you’re afraid to put anything online.
