I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff

But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it

And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say

To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.

Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint

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
