Missed It: Adrian Tomine Interview At Gothamist

This interview with Adrian Tomine caught my eye. Tomine's not a reclusive cartoonist, but he's in no way overexposed and almost always provides thoughtful, forthright answers to whatever he's asked. I think a lot of cartoonists will find elements of their day-to-day lives in Tomine's descriptions of his own, such as in this answer to a query about how fatherhood has chanced the way he works:

"It's definitely made me realize how much time I’ve wasted in my life up to this point. Until you have that experience of having a kid, or anything that changes your notion of time, you sort of think, the way things are are the way things absolutely have to be. It takes me x-number of hours to achieve this much work, and some of that is going to involve sitting around and staring out the window or listening to the music and waiting until the mood hits me. Now that's really not an option."

Tomine also mentions working on a prints sale with D+Q to benefit Japanese earthquake-related charities, which is either something I hadn't heard about or hadn't registered.
