Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects

For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States

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

Kyle Baker's work is really funny, but it's also got a very clear vision

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

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

So there's kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe
