If you're going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration

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

I didn't want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants

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

After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators.
