Was it always Mowl’s intention to feature elaborate engravings on the yoyos? The artwork you use stands out so much from other companies, the yoyos almost seem like a canvas to present this artwork. Was featuring this art part of why you created your own company? The yoyos are fantastic in terms of play, but it’s the artwork that really fascinates me with Mowl. ![IMG_0879](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/0/9/a094091c8543bb32184dcbe4b222ab9fd0c2a1eb.jpeg) ---

I love your attention to detail in both yoyo design and your engravings that not a lot of other yoyo companies can offer. When designing, do you have a really good piece of art work that influences the yoyo design, or vice versa? ---

So… those engravings…… is there a reason for why they are so intricate, and do they generally have a meaning relating to yo-yo they are put on? ---

Another about engravings, eyes seem to in many of the engravings, is there a reason for that? ---

The m and the obsession are awesome and I love the bi metal versions . When creating the bi metal version is there anything you focus on changing first to get the weight right ? Obsession + is my absolute favorite lately. ---

What are the B-grade rates like for some of your guys’ engravings, or what were they like, if they were only a problem at first? If neither of those was a problem, what was the search like for someone that could manage to get so many dense, detailed engravings on so many yoyos? ---

Are there any companies that you would like to collaborate with on a design in the future? Given that the aesthetics of your releases are so unique, do you have any specific art inspirations? How have these inspirations translated into how you design the art on your yoyos? Thanks for doing this? ---
