bless my love for you for interviewing the charming and quirky michael hsiung. this was the best Q&A:
My Love: speaking of horns, let's talk about how great unicorns and narwhals are. you go first.
Michael: unicorns and narwhal are definitely magical. i have several printed pages from the "internet" on them. where do I begin? in john ashton's curious creatures he's got a compilation of descriptions given throughout time. there are these great descriptions of how unicorn horn's possessed healing powers or how they have been seen to jump off cliffs (and land on their horns) to avoid danger. i've illustrated that remarkable feat somewhere. and there's a natural link between narwhals and unicorns of course. sailors were using narwhal horns as proof that unicorns existed. there are several things i love about narwhals. first, that their name derives from Norse "corpse" which was given to them due to their coloration and fondness for swimming upside down. how the horns are one large tooth? how we had one in captivity and it couldn't survive? god, and the fact the males rule their horns together? the list goes on and on.
funny how this will be my longest response of the whole interview, huh. okay, you're turn!
