"I know my art style is hit or miss with people. You either love it or just don’t get it at all and think it’s hideous. I came to peace with that a long time ago. I can’t draw like Jim Lee or Brian Hitch. I can only draw like Jeff Lemire, and I am more than okay with that. I know that my art can sometimes look awkward, but I also think that those flaws are part of the charm and energy of the work and wouldn’t change it for anything. I am who I am, and luckily enough people like what I do that I get to keep doing it. That’s good enough for me."
