Scattered Comics Studios  sits down with Morgan Pabst the artist behind the latest Scattered Comics latest web series “Comics vs. Manga” that begins in August 2010.

Q: How long have you been working with Jason Dube and Scattered Comics?

A: I’ve been working quite a long time. Probably about… 5 to 7 months… Hard to debate. I don’t keep track of time well…

Q: How long have been working as a professional artist?

A: WOW. PERFESSIONAL? I would hardly call myself that. In fact, this is my first job. But I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil. At 3rd grade, I convinced myself I would be an artist.

Q: This series “COMICS VS MANGA” is about comic book and manga artists trying to make their dreams of publishing their own books come true. Are there any tips you learned being an artist you’d like to share with other artists out there that might help them?

A: Always take any criticism you get. Experiment with all kinds of styles and try new ways o make art. Take classes; no matter how good you think you are, there’s always something new to learn. And never give up!!

Q: What do you like about working on the “Comics Vs Manga” web comic?

A: I like seeing my line work become colored and published. Also the entire process of making a new character. It’s always interesting to draw out the small details of something that really helps define the character.

Q: Any thoughts on what you’d like to see happen with this web comic, or storyline?

A: I want to see Vampi, Tina, Kites, and Max have a confusing love-square-triangle thing. Those were my favorite characters to create, so I really am interested in what will happen to them.

Q: Who is your favorite character from the series to draw?

A: KITES. HE IS SO ADORABLE. I love little people. Especially when they’re cute boys. I think it’s awesome how he tries to be suave even though he’s so short.

Q: If you had to pick a character you most identify with, who would it be?

A: UHHH… Probably Natsumi. She’s over selfconfident, in love with herself, and adores having fans. But I’m not evil or controlling like her… I guess I could relate myself to a lot of characters though. But Natsumi ranks at number one.

Q: What would you do as this charcter if you were stuck in this club full of crazy artist characters like this series?

A: WELL… I would probably flaunt my artwork around after I got comfortable. I would really be like Natasha at first; I’m really shy and humble around other great artists.

Q: What do you prefer drawing when you’re not drawing this series?

A: I have a variety of other comics I’m working on. So in my free time I draw the layouts for the comic and rewrite plotlines.

Q: Any last words, comments, worries, shout outs, sage advice you’d like to leave us with?

A: Shout out to Erika and Sammy! Um… COMIC CLUB, YOURE THE BOMB! And… I prefer Coke to Pepsi. Open Happiness!
