Trivia |

 I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other. You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn`t really have. A photograph, even if it`s connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes. When you see somebody who`s got a complaining personality, it usually means that they had some vision of what things could be, and they`re constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do. 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 love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of. 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. There`s a lot of great cartoonists working, but I don`t see too many people coming along who are of the `where have you been all my life?` variety. I have this certain vision of the way I want my comics to look; this sort of photographic realism, but with a certain abstraction that comics can give. It`s kind of a fine line. | ||
