I think I've been able to build up a wide range of styles in storytelling, using comics in different ways from project to project. I think my art has become more accomplished, although I try to keep it from becoming slick or superficial.

I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.

I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.

The audience for comics has shifted dramatically. And the boundaries between books and fine arts have blurred. Maybe it's the globalization of fine art through the Internet - it's easy for certain groups to coalesce around a certain kind of work or medium.

Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.

I continue to be disappointed that people don't try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.

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.

To be honest, writing comics is a dream come true - the form is unparalleled and is home to some of the most original and innovative storytelling around.

I really like the look of old '70s and '80s Japanese comics, so I think that style is something I will continue to draw.
