For Example, I Noticed That Every Single

In An Art School It's Very Hard To Tell Who Is The Best.

I Actually Start Drawing Things. Usually They're Abandoned Before I Commit Too Much Time And Effort.

It's Much More Liberating As A Artist To Feel Like You Can Approach Each Page And Each Panel With The Way That Inspires You The Most. I Think The Thing That Bogs Down A Lot Of Artists Is That You're Kind Of Stuck Drawing In A Style You've Developed.

I'm Usually The Last To See My Influence In Other People's Work. People Give Me Stuff And Say "oh Look, This Guy's Ripping You Off," And I'm Like "what Do You Mean?" Often I See The People That I've Ripped Off Filtered Into My Own Work. In Other People's Work, I Can Only See Specific, Tiny Little Instances Of Inflections Stolen From Another Artist.

Often I'll Do Research Just To Get A Time Period Correct, But I Didn't Have To For The '70s... I Feel Like I Can Close My Eyes And Still See It So Clearly.
