What's Wotto loving the most about California? And what's Wotto missing most about home?

I love the weather, obviously. I am from a country where it rains too much and the sky is more gloomy than blue. The sun is great but occasionally it turns me into a lobster. I also love the food out here, way too much choice and most of it is awesome. I miss a few food items from the UK, like fish n' chips. I mean proper fish n' chips and not fish n' french fries! I also miss my family a lot. They come over for vacations but I still miss seeing them regularly. I guess California is my home now and I like it that way. My wife is awesome and we have a pretty nice little life, I can't complain.

Tell us more about the inspiration behind The Eternal Struggle.

Well this design evolved from a thought I had when I was a child. I remember hearing John Lennon sing "All we are saying is give peace a chance" and I remember thinking, "why don't people try and be peaceful?" I've realized as I have gotten older that things aren't quite as simple as that. I know things are complicated and getting peace isn't simple but it just seems to me that so many people say they want peace but do not act towards getting it. That lead me to the idea of peace being a struggle, kind of like a war. Which I thought would make a very interesting image.
