As we do every Monday, it's time for our weekly #SandboxSpotlight. This week we feature artist and creator @Nguyeningit, and we talk to him about some of his projects, the creators that inspired him, and a lot more!

THE CONVENTION COLLECTIVE:Thank you for joining us in the Spotlight, Don! How did you get into writing and art and why did you want to become an writer and artist? Don Nguyen: I’d say my aptitude as an artist prevails over my writing ability.  Writing is a requirement to implement my ideas if I’m not partnered with a writer. As an indie comic creator, you usually wear a lot of hats and work…

Unreleased @PablotheGorilla pages #PerchancetoDream
