Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I am glad you all enjoyed the interview. I loved answering the questions and am very appreciative of Adelle for posting the interview.

@Naomi – Not a problem at all. You should have been 1-2 on that list to be honest.
@Adii – You’re welcome. Just keep doing what you’re doing and it will help me to push myself to try and reach that level you’re on :)
@Liam – I tend to stay up for 2-3 days at a time (Insomniac) and then crash on the third evening around 3-4am and sleep until about 10-11am. I vary my work times, so I don’t work 10pm-8am every night, but I do it a lot :)

Wow, great stuff – very interesting interview, and I agree with NaldzGraphics, a very interesting timetable. Working from 10pm-8am that sounds great! When do you sleep then? At 8am? Or do you go to bed in the afternoon/evening and wake up at 10pm? I’d quite like to try it, but it would mess up my body clock I’m sure :)

Your point about walking away from the project for a few hours and coming back to it with fresh eyes is a great tip, sometimes I forget to do this and forget how useful it can be.

Great read, keep up the great work.

Hey – great interview! I am a little jealous that Mike knew so fast that will be designer..or started to draw :) But yeah, pretty hard work and I hope in future I could work just like Mike as full time freelancer. Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy this kind of articles with successful designer interviews.
