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

But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will

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

I still love a lot of the guys who just paint

It's interesting, because in the corporate stuff there's a dichotomy there, depending on the creator. Even what, in essence, may be a very safe corporate approach, there is some stuff that is allowed to be pushed

Especially with Elektra, because I'm doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra.
