It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method. ↗

I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together. ↗

And what better way to reinvent the form than to toss virtually 99% of everything that's been done with it and start with a brand-new canvas, reinvent it from the ground up? Digital comics gave me the opportunity to do that, and producing things digitally gave me the opportunity to do that. ↗

And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same. ↗
