Starving Artist Bazaar is the super cool Jennifer Syfu. She likes candy even though it's naughty. If anyone has an extra gameboy they should totally send her one. Seriously.

who are you and why?
i'm a starved artist because i don't eat much
what are your favorite things not to eat?
adobo... KARE KARE... and anything with butter
thanks for the shout out. how long have you been making stuff?
hmmm... i guess for about 4-5 years. i'm a graphic designer, but i need to get away from the computer sometimes. i got obsessed with making marbles a few years ago. OBSESSED. i didn't realize other people didn't think marbles were cool
did you go to counseling?
i should have
what is the answer to all crafty dilemmas?
butter
btw, shouldn't you be starving?
oh... whoops! you saw through my facade
hey, starving artist, why not eat something?
i will be well fed when i can leave those [corporate] fat cats and be on my own
do you find that starvation informs your crafts with a sense of loss and desperation?
uh... yeah. i actually do forget to eat when i get crafty
what would happen if I sent you a candy bar? would you cease to create crafts?
probably. l (heart) chocolate
what's your favorite candy bar? also, can we have your mailing address so all the Sampler's readers can send you a candy bar and then you will starve no more?
i forget the name. toffifay? sure! 3871 Jerome St. Skokie, IL 60076. gimme!
I hope everyone sends you candy
gimme!
how do you respond to negative criticism?
i go under my bed and weep
wow you really are skinny
i have a thick skin. from design school crits, but really really... i have thin skin underneath
why is glass so awesome?
it's beautiful! yet... it will cut ya!
like you? will you cut me?
not you... but you never know
gotta keep you in candy, I guess
you are learning
this is what I've learned about you: addictive personality, very skinny, needs candy
wow. is this really an interview? or an intervention? did my mom call you? is the sampler a big ruse?
ahem ahem hem
add on paranoid
have you stopped making glass marbles?
yeah... i'm into pendants now.
you had to go for the harder stuff, I guess
i NEED my glass fix. soon i'll be shoving glass up my nose
Ow. maybe you should stick to candy? mmmm...candy.
up my nose?
starving artist, what's your next glass drug of choice? where will you go from pendants? stealing cars?
and kidnapping babies
Okay. I should go. thank you for doing an interview with me. did you have a fun time? are you going to get help?
i'm going to eat breakfast
that's a start! one day at a time!
:)
