"A rock 'em sock 'em hum-dandy knock-out of a graphic novel!" 
Shannon Watters, Co-Creator of "Lumberjanes"

Describe your current writing/creative space AND…

PT: I have a room in my apartment. A drawing table I don’t use (I never have time to draw) and a table with my computer and a bookshelf. LOTS of original comic book art on the walls. Bookshelves filled with comp copies from various projects of mine, and further stacks on the floor. Don’t look too close because I’m not good at dusting.

CC: I work mostly in Helioscope, an office space that I share with a couple dozen other comics creators in downtown Portland. It gives me the ability to keep my work life and home life at least somewhat separate, and we’re all a big weird family of artists. I had to give up going there for more than a year because of Covid, and a lot of the other members are still working from home, so right now it can feel lonely in there sometimes.

Describe your ideal writing/creative space.

PT: My ideal changes from day to day, but it always has a water feature, whether that’s a stream running through the room, an adjacent pool, or it’s right on the ocean. Immortal plants would be nice, too.

CC: The same place I do now, except with Covid a distant memory so I can see all my dear friends on the regular.

Describe your ideal home library.

PT: Shelves actually built for books! So many bookshelves are weeeeak. I need shelves that can handle a row of art books, odd sizes, etc. And the shelves should be deep enough that I can put statues and plants on the shelves along with the books. Also, there needs to be climate control, and a Very Nice attached apartment, where the talented person who organizes and cleans the shelves can live.

CC: It’s not very nifty to say, but I’m kind of committed to reading digitally, so my ideal library is a nice big hard drive full of romance, fantasy and sci-fi novels, with a dependable cloud backup and a touch screen with good resolution!
