Nelinda Palomino is teaching our newest intro to sketch class and we had to get the scoop on her writing set up.

What thing do you have to have to start writing / working?

A cup of coffee.

What’s your favorite thing in your desk area and why?

This might sound dorky but my keyboard tray. I couldn’t find a desk that would fit my small apartment, so I found this amazing Ikea hack for a computer cabinet. It was perfect because it hid my computer from being seen through my huge windows. I made the sliding pull out tray all by myself and I’m pretty proud of it.

What was the name of the very first sketch you ever wrote and what was it about?

The name of my very first sketch I ever wrote was called Drug Dealer Friend. It was about a drug dealer who sold pills that gave you very specific abilities. Like if you took the yellow pill you will be able to insert a USB cable right every single time. Or if you took a mauve one it gave you the ability to correctly do your taxes and get, like an insane refund.
