Awhile back Andrew did an interview with Scott McCausey over at Theology Mix. They talked about a ton of things, including marriage and parenting and music and faith, and in the process talked a lot about The Wingfeather Saga."Is there a heart beating inside these characters? Are they people that you care about? ... I've got these wooden puppets, sort of, and I really, deeply wanted to breathe life into them and give them hearts of flesh. And so what that means is that I had to look at Janner Igiby and... put some of my own pain into his heart, put some of my own story into this kid. ... When we bring our pain to our story, or whatever wounding we have—sometimes we're ashamed of those things, but those end up being the very things that our community needs from us."For the full interview, visit the ThM site.
