TROG’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with TROG and have shared our conversation below.

Hi TROG, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
Im proud of the fact that i still draw on paper with pencil and ink , instead of on tablets and apps, more and more artists i see are all on tablets and paper is becoming a lost art

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Im TROG im a cartoon artist in the cannabis world, i love underground comix, i love drawing, i love creating artwork that makes even more sense when your stoned, right now im in the middle of a few sketches on possible rock posters for the band Sublime

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who taught you the most about work?
years of answering questions from fans of my artwork as taught me the most about my work, years of hearing how other people see and take my work and what it means to them.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
suffering teaches you to keep trying and not to give up, to push thru it, to give more, keep trying. success takes alot away from you, it can actually make you weaker and more lonely as you have achieved that thing you were chasing, so now you need to hold onto it, which may not be what you really wanted when you get it.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
Aliens are real, afterlife is real

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
