Ladies, Gentlemen and not-so-gentlemen. I have a Staff Spotlight for you all. This time we have a new staff member: Dr. Tapeworm. He is on the ExGFX team and helped us get through the remoderation in it's last few steps. Anyway, here's his interview:

How did you come across SMW hacking and SMW Central itself?
It's been so long that I don't even really remember, haha. I like creating things so I guess that was a primary motivation. I think I discovered the site around 2006 or so but I didn't join until much later.
You're an excellent graphics artist, how did you learn to draw graphics and what took your interest in it?
I've been drawing things for as long as I can remember and I first started making sprite graphics back in 2007; I'd rather leave that old stuff behind me because it was all terrible. Much of my spriting skill came from observation of both official and fanmade graphics and I worked my way up from there.
You're also into the music-side of SMW hacking, what took your interest in this too?
I used to take piano lessons in the mid-2000s and that more or less started my interest in composing music, although I didn't start taking it seriously until around 2010. In 2011 I started porting music to SMW and I guess I've improved a bit since then.
How have you found your time on the graphics team so far and on staff in general?
It's a new experience for me so I'm not very used to it, but it's cool and interesting. The best part is that I can finally get in on that juicy staff gossip! (don't worry I won't leak any of it)
Do you have any projects you're working on you'd like to share with us?
well there's my main project Munchy's Big Day. I feel bad for plugging my own thing like this but I guess it should be fine for this question.
