We were coming with comics, like, left and right, we were coming up with things like Karis, in high school she came up with that one, I came up with an individual story called Thad's World Destruction and, she wanted to illustrate it, and so, that's the way we ended up doing it.

What is your purpose behind this venture?

s-27

GUM_interview_gaming-27

Well, back in college, back in Collins College, Isabel and I, we had met like she said at Sandia View Academy, and we went off to college together in Arizona;

s-28

GUM_interview_gaming-28

and ... (how do I best explain this?)

s-29

GUM_interview_gaming-29

Basically, she came up with a few class projects, and I came up with a few class projects;

s-30

GUM_interview_gaming-30

we started working with a few of our friends, and colleagues and whatnot.

s-31

GUM_interview_gaming-31

Those included Drew Cass, Devin Thurlow, people like that.

s-32

GUM_interview_gaming-32

She had several ideas, and she used to draw a lot in the sketchbook, she used to have this thick sketchbook that she used to carry around with her everywhere, where she'd draw these different characters and whatnot;

s-33

GUM_interview_gaming-33

and she was always really shy to show that off to people, and I wanted to help her show that stuff, and I wanted to bring it out to the world.

s-34

GUM_interview_gaming-34

I was a writer, and she always liked my writings, so I was like, let's just get both of our things together, and let's get this done.

s-35

GUM_interview_gaming-35

And for me, what I want the purpose to be, is to inspire people.

s-36

GUM_interview_gaming-36

To bring a little more light to the world is what I want, out of all of this.

s-37

GUM_interview_gaming-37

s-41
