Highlights from the conversation

"When I got into PVNKS I quickly realized that I was building a brand, building a world"

"This hub for like-minded people are invested in the project, but they're also invested in you, as an artist"

"Art is something that you do of your own will, not for the sole purpose of selling"

"Everything I saw at the time was really repulsive – terrible drawings of terrible things that are slightly altered by an algorithm"

"My sole purpose is making something and seeing if someone enjoys it. If someone enjoys it – that's all they need to get from it"

"Marvel or Dark Horse have got a huge platform to make your idea grow but they'll also take over"
