real artist looks
One of the most difficult things for any artist to do is create a world that looks both completely alien yet real and possible.
cute drawing littles
I rarely draw myself, in general, and if I do, I tend to do little cute manga-esque, almost bite-sized drawings of myself.
epic long design
I have a tendency to do the epic kind of long shot and put in everything that you need to know. And that's by design; that's the kind of approach I take to it.
marketing fans want
No true fan wants to go to Comic-Con and get assaulted with a marketing blitz about just any old show.
creating creative happy-accidents
Creating and producing creative work, to me, those are all happy accidents.
games play people
Not everyone reads comics, although most people know the major superheroes, but the majority of people play video games.
thinking focus trying
I'm really trying to focus on the storytelling, more so than ever before I think, partly because it makes for easier pages.
unique special triangles
There was something special and unique about the love triangle that existed between Clark Kent, Superman and Lois Lane.
girlfriend adventure years
Al Plastino helped redefine Superman in the 1950s. His work on Supermans Girlfriend, Lois Lane, Adventure Comics and pretty much any title in the Superman family will be fondly remembered for years to come. He will be missed.
artist design important
As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread.
bull ring
I'm like a bull with a ring in its nose, ... Whichever way I'm pulled, I go.
I have to say, self-servingly, I downloaded my own comics. I downloaded 'Batman: Hush.'
