Zitat des Tages von Daniel Clowes:
I'm not opposed to comics on the Internet. It's just not interesting to me.
It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.
In an art school it's very hard to tell who is the best.
When you see somebody who's got a complaining personality, it usually means that they had some vision of what things could be, and they're constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do.
But I enjoy the opportunity to use swear symbols.
I'm more interested in characters who are a little difficult.
Working on movies made me realize how fluid the medium of film was.
I was a very fearful little kid, and I would always see the worst in everything. The glass was half-empty. I would see people kissing, and I would think one was trying to bite the other.
I think I've had the fantasy of a ray-gun that could erase the world from the time I was a very little kid.
I must have been 3 years old or less, and I remember paging through these comics, trying to figure out the stories. I couldn't read the words, so I made up my own stories.
When people get things for free, they tend to not take them as seriously.
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.
You can give some kind of spark of life to a comic that a photograph doesn't really have. A photograph, even if it's connecting with you, it seems very dead on the page sometimes.
I don't read much of anything online.
Yeah, I don't necessarily like endings that contrive an artificial moment of completion.
