[12:10] That’s going to work.
Foul area i’m in charge of five thousand for kids are getting it and i’m amanda barker and i’m applying to.
And how long had you been there.
I’ve been there for about 2 years officially but I intend there,
college so I’m technically been there since about 2013 kind of on and off.
As intern spec work all that stuff.
And then specially 2 years ago so this is about 7 months.

[12:52] So yeah a lot so planning where we’re going next working with licensors designing product coordinating Freelancers.
Are directing scalds doing creative of rules internally managing to see.
And budgets all that basically everything anything and everything that has to do with getting a collectible from concepts to on shelf.
I’m involved it sounds like a headache can be but it’s ultimately something I don’t think I can go there I can see myself doing anything else right and it’s really just it’s it’s almost like a perfect.
Storm really of a job exactly I mean it’s it’s really what I find myself myself good at.
And it’s you know like there on the term dream job around but its like its gotten pretty lucky i think so fallen into this.
One thing and tell me about your dream job that it is a job.
So there’s good days and bad as you can tell I was down a little horse right now we have 5 days at Comic-Con.
So what’s your what’s up everything you’ve made so far are sign for the.

[14:12] Probably the Christians a big monster guy.
Since I was a kid I mean like my grandfather bought me Godzilla Comics as a child and that’s kind of what got me into this hole,
street it’s all kinda snowballed from there with his fault yeah it’s scramble them to jerry’s fault is be at the the crib ins especially ca can resonating so well for people to leave it out since february of this year and they’re pretty cool.
Yeah thank you but it’s really.

[14:44] It’s it’s really big with kids which is kind of like a big deal for us cuz I look at WonderCon this past year,
we at we had the midnight chupacabra exclusive mushrooms like all black with green spikes in the big red eyes but he was like 10 bucks which is a little bit cheaper when it comes to exclusives for a show so he’s sold out first,
as a lot of little kids and no work retouch tell year kids were putting crumpled dollar bills on the counter asking for cheaper cobber so cool that using their allowance.
Like so you cancel out first of all excuses wondered that’s cool to see it like in the hands of.

[15:22] Super excited about.
So you are definitely a passion of ours since we have so many,
sugar house so one of them asset least be in the comics and collectibles and stuff cuz,
know what would happen if like none of them really just be like,
the nerdy couple old couple that is like dressing up in our kids if you like,
hungry ass,
you probably got about two or three of them that are like going to be accounting perfectly normal kind of screwed
neither of us like there’s one of them is coming next,
exactly kind of funny that you say that cuz I literally said today I didn’t want to go get my CPA.
So if you won’t work for a boring to tax company dismiss i’ve iphone not switch app that’s the things like.

[16:42] Amanda and I both went illustration school and the number one thing that my parents taught me is that like even if you don’t wind up becoming some sort of Professionals in the creative arts,
have this ability you have this town you have this passion was we’ll take that away from you soon if not getting paid to do it you get to keep doing it because you do and if it fills you,
we’re both very fortunate to fall into this industry and we get to do the things that we like to do we recognize that it really gets to do that so we’re very grateful.
A lot of stuff can go away in anytime and it’s also super fulfilling to be able to have a passion for Art and Design and actually like believe in it what we are doing and to be able to have actual knowledgeable feedback and see designing be like.
But what if we did this and i’mma have causing all of us better you know like to be able to have knowledge in like passion about the thing your doing is like,
amazing what you guys do put out records it
we have we have our fair share of stuff in her house she’s only been here for about 6-7 months but you’ve actually developed a pretty good
record design like tag team of working on stuff that’s exciting me you was this error new role that was created,
like you needed help or was there somebody previously there was someone previously but heard of her role was less to find,
it’s she got pulled in cell lot like office duty type stuff,
and it like it was it was difficult and in addition to that she had some kind of personal problems that made it.

[18:10] For her to focus on the design stuff luckily Amanda is very local and very passionate about the stuff the first before it’s kind of fell into it,
I knew from the beginning that like sorry I called I want this person,
yeah cuz I got to be there last night to be there long before was like an assistant and she kind of ended up being a lot of people’s assistant but when I when the position opened we kind of like went through it or like okay,
I’m going to be the Collectibles product development assistant and like kind of outline it so I have the opportunity to do a lot more design work for collectibles,
and you know I also help with like customer service into every once in awhile marketing things like that is also really important but like I really appreciate the fact that I have like.
I get to interact with chi-lin like talk so much about life,
where lines are headed and bouncing ideas off each other and actually handing me art and having me finish it and stuff like that is really fun today was our one day to kind of walk around and be like look at what the competitors,
yeah it’s alright in this industry analysis day is what I called it.

[19:19] Also i said but yeah i can tell them about the.
The Krypton incident so I was weird designing actually,
in the future for Christians already but can’t say how far we’re going we have to plan ahead because it takes anywhere from 11 to 13 months to go from concept to Shell,
so it’s it takes longer than you might think so this is one that i designs and i so i dyed your it up and i said i give amanda the line work.
And she looks at it.
And this is this is our man so possibly possible new on this is not a guarantee I send you the lineart and there’s no arms on it and she turns to me and Amanda goes Kyle this is just an owl.

[20:07] Yeah yeah.
Have a great brawl of my experience in.

[20:21] You still get your still need a good check and balance every now and then everybody does that mean you have to have that almost every aspect of your life.
That’s why people usually need somebody else you know of a near spouse they need a significant other best friend anybody,
just an assistant yeah,
need somebody that work could is always the area
we work together.

[20:55] Talk about something so how what did you do previously so did you just get out of school in like fall into your dream job or,
enough kind is so i have been was i was actually working on a comic book store was are gonna comic book store during my senior year of art school so engine are college that gonna cause martin design,
so it’s working at comic book store in Lake Forest California,
and the funny thing about Lake Forest is that ass around my game studios and create you know blizzard out there in Irvine have more clientele at you know comic Quest my work,
wasn’t employees i will matt designers i became friends at the crib tractor blizzard like always crazy stuff,
cryptozoic before I even knew who you was coming in the store Kyle actually we were mutual friends from like,
friend and then you didn’t hang outcomes are got no to there and so then six months after i graduated,
position open evicted to so i can powers like a notice got those marketing,
she’s a nerd she’s in all of this let’s getter in and it and i need a crib director he knew from conquests use all the work i did on earth social media and so it just kind of like fell into place and it was like one timing right time right place,
that’s so awesome,
major company for a long time but it’s a new company yeah.

[22:25] Has that confidence that president that presence that it use it there no like this is some like from the get go when it’s really.
Maybe that’s one thing that’s like a blessing and a curse
how about a woman trading cards that so i’m in the car just comes in the name i thought i was always,
think it was four dollars.

[22:56] Kon-tiki trying to figure out a way to integrate cryptocurrency into.
Oh yeah yeah I watch that John Oliver episode 2.
Like not pressuring think freshening refreshment about working out like i was like as were like getting like.
I swear small and getting bigger is that like I worked on the kickstarter side for one of our games,
and we’re getting like,
gorgeous it and its like i’m one person
sorry there’s two of us doing this thing let’s go party people in the entire building for all for a little bit more than that.

[23:46] Okay well I mean.

[23:50] It’s smaller than you think and so like when we did pre-sales and things like that like.
Everybody was like there was like a ton of responses amazing like so many black people can all except rear golden goddess is everything with out of steadfastness,
I’m sorry I know you’re best but it’s like the day I was like,
two of us like trying to do this thing like there are,
everybody crypto works together while i are collectibles department is not very me i can count on my hand how many people are in the group so it.

[24:26] Three,
three people and like we’re trying to like it.
There and help everybody out but it’s like so it’s great that we’re growing so fast that there so much interest but like were also sells when we understand that we look like,
big huge company because of the awesome AAA license to get to work with like wbko.com Sony all those guys but we are not big.
We are not we don’t have wife and with no anybody who’s listening we appreciate any and all patients you can give us,
I mean when you when you email us and you say I’m upset that this,
got cancelled at this is delayed we’re just we’re probably more upset than you are to be completely honest.
Yeah yeah I think everybody who really appreciates it understands like even myself I didn’t get one,
I probably could have tried harder but I did,
is it really like sleep yeah i at the end of the day i,
it’s acquired in other ways about them because i took them but i-i you know,
pay for it right.

[25:54] Bodyguards as we leave here so you won’t be able to.
So where the golden goddess is the highest ones that everybody wanted him so yeah after also vs.

you’re with people of like mine it even if they maybe are not here for the same reasons they still have a lot of the same.
That you like and sin like my son two yeah,
I think everybody here is probably I feel like Seattle is a very accepting area in California is right there in a lot of people that come here I think are probably,
the most accepting even back in the day when they first started.
It’s.
