By stripping down an image to essential meaning, an artist can simplify that meaning.

As I see it, mainstream comics now speak only to the hardcore few who stayed; conversing in a weird, garbled, visual pig latin only they can understand - rendering the term 'mainstream' a hollow joke - while the true mainstream, the other 99.9% of the populace, find enjoyment elsewhere.

Art, as I see it, is any human activity which doesn’t grow out of either of our species’ two basic instincts: survival and reproduction.

I wouldn't necessarily have been making books about how to make comics if I'd really felt I knew how to make comics.

The idea that comics stores, distributors and publishers simply 'give the customers what they want' is nonsense. What the customers wanted they didn't get - and they left.

A medium is a bridge between two minds.

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