I wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff.

But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression.

It's interesting, because in the corporate stuff there's a dichotomy there, depending on the creator. Even what, in essence, may be a very safe corporate approach, there is some stuff that is allowed to be pushed.

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 learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work.

So much of 'Jaws' was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
