Just a small mid-Christmas update from me: a new interview I recently answered for the SUUMO Journal is now available to read online! We talked about my art inspirations, time at the Polish university, work at the animation studio, but also about broader themes like influencing society using art, etc.
The original interview is available, in Japanese, here:
