How cool is this?? Love seeing all these amazing creators under one roof. I did this many years ago with some close friends of mine trying to create our own characters and books. I can't tell you how much I loved the creative vibe we would all get from each other as we stayed up til 3 or or 4 in the morning drawing, talking comics and listening to music. I miss those days dearly, so I thank you for sharing this with us!

This video surprised me. I mean, you have a whole staff of different artists gathered in one place, but everyone draws something different. Including personal work. I always thought that people only go to the offices for one common project and... it's cool, to be honest, to be in a circle of people like you, but to be able to live your own project!

Neither do I, after failing to get my work VISA, I went into graphic design for years, doing mediocre work, absolutely miserable, and now I am hanging on the outskirt of illustration, trying so hard to get in full-time again.

Thanks for asking! Back in 2002 when we formed the studio, several of us spent a few weeks going through real estate listings and walking through office buildings with "for rent" signs. As for how we afford it, we have several dozen members, many of whom have been working full-time in comics for decades. When you split the rent between 30+ people, the monthly expense isn't too bad.
