Even If I Only Had 10 Readers,

If I Could Have Somehow Been The Kind Of Artist Who Could Crank Out Two Or Three Issues A Year, That's Different. That's Sort Of What It's All About, To Get This Thing Out So That There's Some Kind Of Continuity. But To Do A Comic Book Every Year Or Two Was Just So Anti-climactic.

I Lose Faith In Everything Else, But Rarely In My Work. If I Start To Get Bored, I Change It To Make It More Interesting. I Try Not To Take It Too Seriously, But I Also Try To Never Cheat Or Hurry Things Along.

I Love The Medium And I Love Individual Comics, But The Business Is Nothing I Would Be Proud Of.

Though To The Average Person That You'll Meet On An Airplane, If You Tell Them You Draw Comics, They'll Still Have Sort Of The Same Response - Not Like That's Seeped Into The Culture At Large, That Comics Are Not Just For Kids.

I See A Lot Of Possibilities In The Age Of My Characters - Between 18 And 21. You Have A Window Of Opportunity When You Leave Your Childhood Behind And Have This Chance To Become What You Always Wanted To Be. For Me, That Was A Time When I Could Have Gone Many Different Ways. I Was In Flux And Deciding What Kind Of Person I Would Become. There's Something Interesting About The Vision Of What That Will Be And The Reality Of Making That Happen, And How You Really Are What You Are. Unless You're "in Character," It's Impossible To Get Around That.
