Usually when you're doing concepts for a character, you just try a couple different things to see what sticks.

Having a blank slate is sometimes as daunting as it is exciting.

There's a creative freedom to comics, and a fulfillment I get out of panel layouts and storytelling that is hard for me to get anywhere else.

It always makes me sad when someone comments on how much they love my work- from 15 years ago! I don't want to be just another old school guy that fell off.

I'm sure that no matter what I'm involved in, I'll always be doing comics, at least in some minor capacity.

Lots of places to hone your skill as an artist and still earn a paycheck while you're waiting to kick the door down.
