Bill Sienkiewicz Quotes
After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators. And I've never viewed comics as assignments for the client. And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say. But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it. But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will. But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression. But with comics you're reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube. Cartooning is an honorable thing. Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects. Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story. Especially with Elektra, because I'm doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra. For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States. I didn't want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants. I still love a lot of the guys who just paint. I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced. I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff. I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work. I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar. If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special. If you're going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it.
