I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work

And within the world that you've created, the physics of that world have to remain constant; they can't be amorphous and changing.

Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects

So I look at a lot of stuff now that I did and some of it looks tame to me, but my interest in terms of what I want to say with it is a little different

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

And I've never viewed comics as assignments for the client

But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression
