| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

1) In which city do you work? New York City, NY.
2) What got you into comics? I read the Sunday comics, ARCHIE and MAD when I was a pre-teen. When I was about thriteen or so I started reading and collecting Marvel and DC and so on.
3) Where do babies come from? They come from their parent's house and end up sitting next to me in the restaurant where they cry and cry and cry.
4) Where do you see yourself in five years? I will be about halfway through my third graphic novel, RETURN TO CAVE CITY.
5) What do you feel you have yet to do? I feel that I have yet to start my third graphic novel, RETURN TO CAVE CITY. Aside from that, I think I've pretty much accomplished all that I want to do in life.
6) Does this make me look fat? No, it only accentuates your delicious curves.
7) Which of your projects are you the most proud of? Normally I'm definitely not one to toot my own horn. Most of the time I can barely look at my own work because seeing all the mistakes, misjudgements and outright blown opportunities makes me wince. However, you've caught me in a charitable mood, so I'll say my newest book, TRICKED.
8) Who are your influences, inside or outside of comics? In comics, I would have to say Dave Sim, though it's out of fashion to say so. I don't agree with any of his theories on religion, politics or gender studies, but as a cartoonist he was always fantastic and had a huge influence on my stuff.
9) Does this look infected to you? Yes. That will be $95, please.
10) What advice would you give a person trying to break into the industry? Comics will break your heart. Well, I don't know about mainstream superhero stuff, but indy comics will definitely break your heart.
