I Try Personally Not To

At A Certain Point, I Realized That I Could Draw Anything, And There Was Nothing I Should Avoid - I Could Make It Work. That's Opened Me Up To Being Able To Be Much More Comfortable Telling Any Kind Of Story.

Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I Would Be Moved By A Novel Or Movie.

I Have Cultivated A Little Crew Of People Whose Opinions I Understand. It's Like The Way You'd Follow Certain Film Critics Because You Know What Their Criteria Are, And You May Not Agree With Them, But You Can Glean From Their Opinion How You Will Feel About A Film.

I Just Try To Make Comics For Myself, Try To Give It Some Kind Of Unity Throughout. That Often Involves Tiny Details. I'm Never Sure What's Going To Be Obvious Or What Nobody Will Ever Notice. I Put Stuff In My Comics That I Thought Was Blatantly Obvious, And Nobody Noticed. And Things That I Think Are Buried In The Background, Everybody Gets It. So I Try To Be Consistently Aware Of Every Part Of The Frame.

As Soon As I'm Finished With It, It Feels Like An Impersonal Project. Like, "well, I Did Another Book."
