Freedom is not an individual effort. Yours comes only when you grant others theirs

I think that true horror is accomplished by slowly getting into your brain. The old way is much more scary.
thinking drawing way
If the gag is complicated, you spend more time thinking about the way you're drawing it.
book stories series
I'd love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.
long stories western
The Western, when I do one, will be one long, continuous story.
book stories pages
The reason I love comics more than anything else is that the longest story will be just a few pages. With a novel, it takes so many pages to get to one thing happening.
behavior boogeyman results
The Boogeyman is your conscience. The Boogeyman is the result of your own bad behavior. I love this Boogeyman.
character drawing design
Sometimes, you start with the drawing and then the gag comes to you in the middle of it. That is when you start working on the solution of the gag, which is composition, placing, equilibrium, and character design.
character creativity expression
Once you've established where you are, you go to the character and elaborate on expressions and action.

I live in a very small town and now that I've closed down my studio, I'm working at home.

I have always loved horror very much. I used to write stories for DC's House of Mystery. It was one of my first jobs writing for comics, and I loved it.
ideas hours knows
I keep very weird hours. I never know when I'm going to get an idea.
sharks scare catching
I don't enjoy the boo scare when you're watching a movie and then suddenly there's a big shark on the screen. The only thing they're doing is catching you off guard.
