“I think if you had different artists approaching the material in different styles, that's very different. I think it's an interesting thing to discover, what's present in the work even when you're shifting the styles. I've just found it a much stronger way to work.” IfsThinkingWayDifferentArtistFoundInterestingStyleMaterialsStrongerShiftingInteresting ThingsDifferent Styles Author:Daniel Clowes
“It's much more liberating as a artist to feel like you can approach each page and each panel with the way that inspires you the most. I think the thing that bogs down a lot of artists is that you're kind of stuck drawing in a style you've developed.” ThinkingWayFeelsKindArtistStyleInspireLike YouApproachPagesDrawingStuckLiberatingBogs Author:Daniel Clowes
“If I could have somehow been the kind of artist who could crank out two or three issues a year, that's different. That's sort of what it's all about, to get this thing out so that there's some kind of continuity. But to do a comic book every year or two was just so anti-climactic.” IfsYearsKindTwoBookDifferentArtistThreeIssuesComicIf I CouldComic BookContinuityCrank Author:Daniel Clowes
“I'm usually the last to see my influence in other people's work. People give me stuff and say "Oh look, this guy's ripping you off," and I'm like "What do you mean?" Often I see the people that I've ripped off filtered into my own work. In other people's work, I can only see specific, tiny little instances of inflections stolen from another artist.” PeopleGivingMeanArtistInfluence Author:Daniel Clowes
“All I can say on the Guilford story - and this comes more from my perspective as a father than an artist - is for parents and administrators to give so little value to the career of a public-school teacher - to allow him to be cast aside without exhausting every avenue to resolve the issue - is an obscenity worse than anything I've ever drawn in my comics.” GivingArtistValuesFatherParentTeacherPerspectiveResolve Author:Daniel Clowes
