Webcomics are much bigger than any one scene can circumscribe.

It wasn't until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.

Today, comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.

And what better way to reinvent the form than to toss virtually 99% of everything that's been done with it and start with a brand-new canvas, reinvent it from the ground up? Digital comics gave me the opportunity to do that, and producing things digitally gave me the opportunity to do that.

Learn from everyone. Follow no one. Watch for patterns. Work like hell.

There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.

Comic book readers are just as abandoned by the corporate system as the creators, despite the importance supposedly given their hard-earned dollars. The average comics shop can offer only a tiny fraction of an industrywide selection that is itself extremely limited in scope. And even when readers know exactly what they want, the search can be maddeningly futile.
