So that's what Kane look's like.... Your voice is now recognizable to me... nice to have a face to fit it with! 
 
As for the interview... Dyer has a sense of drawing is awesome.... BTW "Ridiculous" is good in my book...
Her art style is fun but fit's this story... I had heard of it but now I really want to read it! 
 
I think this story fits, relatable with almost anybody, because at one time or another we dress up as bunnies and see imaginary fishes.... Love it!

This is truly impressive, I enjoy that style of art.  Its not just "cartooning" that IS ART.  Beautiful.   
 
Not being weird but she has the most mesmerizing eyes.  Good luck to her and hope she goes far with her efforts!

Spend 15 minutes on it a day and I bet you'll have something to show for yourself within a month.

This is some really beautiful work. It's nice to see Ms. Dyer exposing readers to female creators in the business.

This somehow needs to be connected to Jamaica Dyer's page, so more people can find this in future. 
 
I feel ashamed to say that I've not heard of her or seen her work before, because what she's made looks so fantastic!  I love the water coloured style, it's very reminiscent of Jill Thompson, but a little less spindly & curly.  I'll have to keep an eye out for this when I'm down my LCS. 
 
Nice interview & it's nice to finally see Kane (not just hear/read him :)
