 Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects. |
| And I've never viewed comics as assignments for the client. |
| Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something. |
| So there's kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe. |
| People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to. |
| But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression. |
| One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much. |
| To me, that's one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that's a completely different approach. |
| I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar. |
| Kyle Baker's work is really funny, but it's also got a very clear vision. |
| So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing. |
| For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States. |
| I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced. |
| Cartooning is an honorable thing. |
| Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story. |
| But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will. |
