The way I process things, they way I express myself, is in comics, just as poets process things that they are trying to understand.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.
Comics are a particularly esoteric field where you really learn how to do it, by doing it or by learning from other practitioners.
Learning to write comics is, in fact, so bloody difficult because it's such a weird form that it does actually make you a bit more adaptable for other forms.
Comics is a language. It's a language most people understand intuitively.
Many of my poems try to use a comic element to reach a place that isn't comic at all. The comic element works as a surprise. It is unexpected and energizing.
Comics as art. I do comics as comics, and my opportunity to tell stories. Simple. Basic. Let the characters have the excitement, not the package. That's where I come from.
Plus, I love comic writing. Nothing satisfies me more than finding a funny way to phrase something.
One of the things about comics is people can linger on images and words as long as they want.
Because I write prose, when I sat down to write a comic, it feels like my brain's working differently. It actually feels like different bits of my head are springing into action.
As a comic, I think I'm very verbally oriented about a lot of the stuff that I've written or thought up and how I say it.
