Mashable: How did you get into Snapchat?
McBride: My job is super fun, and is a constant adventure of traveling, meeting cool people and experiencing new things. I wanted to quickly send crazy things over to friends and family, and Snapchat was the best medium for that. In my downtime on planes or in hotels, I would just start drawing these artistic snaps that usually have exaggerated humor or irony.
What are some of the ways you’ve used the app?
I’ve done everything from making back-to-back snap sequences that create a short film to using the app to blast out 50% screenshot coupons for a skate shop’s marketing. The crazy snaps I draw are mostly just for fun.

Can you describe your creative process? How do you think up your snaps?
A lot of times I try and do things that are ironic or realistic with a touch of unrealistic. If you are stressing about creating something funny, you just force it, and I’ve had a couple of snaps that I just didn’t like because I was trying too hard. Usually if I see something funny, I just take a pic of it. Then I will look at the pic and think, "This is cool, but how much cooler would it be if he had a dinosaur head or was holding a chainsaw?"
What do you like about Snapchat? Where do you think the app is going?
I think it’s cool when people snap me a compliment to one of my posts, or say something I’m doing looks fun. I always snap those people back. The app and idea of Snapchat has so much potential — it all depends on if the company acts on that potential. I think they need to do some marketing on the creative potential and positive side of the app to take attention off of people thinking it is just used inappropriately. I hope things go in the right direction. I have had so much fun with Snapchat.
