A Cult Classic... Both A Celebration Of The Unlimited Potential Of The Comic Book Form, And A Perfect Melding Of Inspiring, Iconoclastic Imaginations.

Steal From Anywhere That Resonates With Inspiration Or Fuels Your Imagination. Devour Old Films, New Films, Music, Books, Paintings, Photographs, Poems, Dreams, Random Conversations, Architecture, Bridges, Street Signs, Trees, Clouds, Bodies Of Water, Light And Shadows. Select Only Things To Steal From That Speak Directly To Your Soul. If You Do This, Your Work (and Theft) Will Be Authentic.

I Like That Cartoons Are Now Not Only Animated Drawings, They Are A Way Of Doing Something: 'that Song Sounds Very Cartoony', Or 'he Has A Cartoon Face'.

I Start With Actors That I Know Personally Or I Know Their Work, And There Are Things About Their Work Or Their Presence Or Their Own Personality That Make A Character, That Exaggerates Some Qualities And Suppresses Other Qualities. It's Always A Real Collaboration For Me.
