Interview With The Conscious Tip →
cjvisuals:
Here’s a recent interview I did about Social Skills with the website The Conscious Tip.
1) What is Social Skills?
Social Skills is a weekly comic that consists of illustrations, and comics done in a sarcastic and cynical tone. Although, it’s also a place where discussion happens…

turnupgreenz asked: Let me apologize in advance because this question is not pertaining directly to your Social Skills content... nor is it to bash on you work for that matter. I'm actually curious as to whether have or are going to see Red Tails this weekend. I've noticed many people urging others to see the film simply because of the "all black cast". What are your reasons for going/not going?

Anonymous asked: I don't think this asking questions idea is working out. Your responses come off defensive, combative and generally ungracious. It's alienating even to people who otherwise want to like your work. What kind of comment are you really inviting anyway? "Questions about the artistic process"? Have you really presented a sustained and consistent enough body of work to merit such...

Anonymous asked: I stumbled on your blog and I like your material. I laughed out loud to a lot of things, because I actually know guys and girls like your characters. But what I don't quite understand is the misinterpretation on people's part about what the characters or writings are supposed to represent or mean. So my question to you is, are you a damn sadomasochist?

Anonymous asked: I think that last one crosses the line. It's sick and irresponsible, since the unemployment rate is high, and people would kill to have a "day job." You seem spoiled.

poplrdmnd asked: i just got through reading "yeah, you're cool" and I must say, that everything about this is really good. As a writer, I see bits and pieces of myself in this comic. I'd love to see more of it in the future.

Anonymous asked: tomine's comics dont have only one character who is potentially "unlikeable" while all ur characters r potentially "unlikeable." all tomine's characters are selfish but the difference is that they more "relateable" because he gives them more human dimensions and psychological motivations raher than just being shallow collections of hip memes. and he bravely ...

Anonymous asked: your work kind of reminds me of Adrian Tomine's. Have you ever read any of his graphic novels? Shortcomings was really good.

lazybeautiful asked: If you do a graphic novel, would it retain the black and white style of "Yeah, YOU'RE Cool" or would you incorporate color? And if & when it's published, I will be the first one to buy it. I really enjoyed "Yeah, YOU'RE Cool" as well as the "Sheeple" comics. I hope this isn't the last of Social Skills on tumblr!

Anonymous asked: The comic left me feeling unsatisfied. We got to understand Jameer's point of view. But I wanted to know what Clara was thinking. I think you should attempt that for your next comic. But I did enjoy the comic overall.
Anonymous asked: Actually, I completely disagree with that last person. Art is only so with an audience, and I think artist should absolutely defend their art, because art isn't just some pittling little emotional experience. It's also an intellectual, communal experience. If it wasn't communal people would create and not share it with anyone. You shouldn't back off from discussion, and...

boom-bap asked: While I don't recall it word-for-word, I once heard a quote that suggested the wisdom of a person who could simultaneously contemplate two contradictory ideas without necessarily agreeing with either of them. I think, to a degree, this speaks to your characters/writing. I think it's important that we investigate characters and ideas even if (/especially if) we find them disagreeable at...

Anonymous asked: As an artist your work is an expression of your own emotions and a reflection of your own experiences. You shouldn't feel the need to defend it to anyone. It's your art. Some will like it, some will hate it, other may love it. That's the nature or art.

Anonymous asked: Your brand of elitism is pretty disturbing. If one isn't impossibly good looking, over-educated, and fashionable, then they're either dismissed as "morons" or not even represented at all. And, I'm not a hater, because I think you're very talented, which is why this all the more tragic.

Anonymous asked: Girls are either nice bookworms or air head sluts to you. The storytelling and dialogue was good, but you've got a pretty fucked up madonna/whore complex that kept it from being special.

doctordelorean asked: To add on to your answer, what can you do about the attention you're getting? You're certainly not going to say "Oh yeah, you're right. I don't deserve this much attention, let me take down my work and stop trying to spread my message". That'd be absurd.

Anonymous asked: Hey, so there's this girl I've been texting pretty heavy for the past week so far. I just recently got in contact with her. She was my prom date last year. And I really want to go on a date with her, but there's still some issues I have. It's the small shit, like she doesn't really text me back automatically after I send my texts. It usually takes like an hour or so for...

Anonymous asked: Your comics are cool and everything they've got the whole hipster "fuck evrything" vibe that's popular now, but you're getting alot of undeserved attention, and it's a shame.

Anonymous asked: I don't mean to be annoying but I wanted your advice on something. There's this girl at school, and she's perfect for me, but she's always dating guys that don't appreciate her the way she deserves. How can I get her to notice me without being like the assholes she dates? Or should I just act like them?
