As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread.

I rarely draw myself, in general, and if I do, I tend to do little cute manga-esque, almost bite-sized drawings of myself.

There's also a lot of punch you get from doing an extreme closeup and have it just be that image with nothing around it. There's a clarity and precision and impact there that you sometimes lose if you put everything else in that background.

Alasdair Fraser's Culburnie Records has quietly become one of the best Celtic music labels today.

Creating and producing creative work, to me those are all happy accidents.

I really want to try to explore the characters from angles you've never seen and keep them classic and iconic.

One of the most difficult things for any artist to do is create a world that looks both completely alien yet real and possible.
