artist want stuff
I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced.
artist filled-in missing
So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
honorable
Cartooning is an honorable thing
journey people way
People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to
levels unreality certain
If you're going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it
clients assignments
And I've never viewed comics as assignments for the client
essence interesting may
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
mutants want feels
I didn't want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants
one-day pieces stuff
To me, that's one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that's a completely different approach
want littles stuff
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
want what-you-want avenues
And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say
media driven produce
Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something
looks film gray
Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident
artist technique irrelevant
To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.
