I Originally Just Wanted To Be An

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.

One Of My Weekend Hobbies Is To Go Look At Old Houses When There Are Open Houses Around Here. Just To Go Look At The Architecture. And You Can See How Many Houses Were Built Around 1977, The Year Where Everyone Said, "let's Put In These Aluminum Windows Instead Of Beautiful Hand-made Wood Ones."

The Secret To Being Alone Is To Organize Your Time; To Develop Habits And Routines And Gradually Elevate Their Importance To Where They Seem Almost Like Normal, Healthy Activities.

I'm A Fan Of Parchment And Wood Pulp.

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.
