I'm A Fan Of Parchment And Wood

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.

It's Embarrassing To Be Involved In The Same Business As The Mainstream Comic Thing. It's Still Very Embarrassing To Tell Other Adults That I Draw Comic Books - Their Instant, Preconceived Notions Of What That Means.

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

I Really Want People To Read The Book, And Bookstores Never Sold An Issue Of Eightball Because Nobody Knew What It Was.

I Must Have Been 3 Years Old Or Less, And I Remember Paging Through These Comics, Trying To Figure Out The Stories. I Couldn't Read The Words, So I Made Up My Own Stories.
