I Try To Employ A Different Strategy For Each Story. Often, I'll Have A Specific Look In Mind Before I Even Have The Story To Go With It. I'm Not So Much Interested In Forcing The Issue Of Reader Identification Through Various Graphic Tricks.

I Like To Leave A Little Room To Innovate And Change Things Around While I'm Working.

Something I Always Wanted To Do, To Capture That Later Half Of The '70s. It's Like The Early Half Of The '70s Is Still The '60s, In That There's Still Kind Of A Playfulness And Inventiveness In Terms Of Design And The Things That Were Going On In The Culture. The Second Half, It Got Much More Commodified. It's Possibly The Ugliest Era Of Architecture And Clothes And Design In The Entire 20th Century, From 1975 To '81 Or '82.

If You Think About It Enough To Have A Really Articulate Answer, You're Not Doing It Right. That's How I Feel About Art.

It Keeps Me Moving When I See People Doing Stuff That I See As "my" Direction. I Think, "oh, It's Been Tainted. Now I've Got To Do Something New." There's Nothing Worse Than Working On Your Own Stuff And Thinking That Someone Else Is Following You Along.
