hi alan,
Hands down you are my favorite artist. It's interesting to see the transformation from your early days to now. What do you think about that work when you look back at it now?

Hi Jaxel
Most times I cringe and wonder how I could have got things so wrong. But, having said that, the aspect of comics that keeps me interested is the pursuit of trying to get 'it' right-- IF I ever managed to do work that I was truly happy with there would be no point continuing. The challenge is the motivation.

Re: 2 more
I'm sure Alan will kill me for this but you can see a couple of photos of him from the 2003 Mid Ohio Con along with a few of the sketches he did there in this gallery.jaxel wrote:2. Do you have any pictures of your self to post as I have never seen a photo of you?
I'm aways curious about how famous artist got started into comics. I wonder if you could tell us what brought you to the comic industry. Was it something you aways wanted to, or you started in another career and "happened" to end up in the comics business, like some guys who started in advertising and moved on to comics or so. Do you think its harder to achieve some level of success now than years ago, when you started?1.Did wou go to art school?

As Row rightly reports, the Modern Masters book would give a more complete answer to your question, Caio-- But the short answer is that I never had any 'formal art training after age 12-- I choose woodwork as my 'craft' option at school with an eye to becoming a carpenter. I also attended an occasional life drawing evening-class between age 24-26... But it was a 'recreational' as opposed to 'academic' course. Other than that, I studied, (now as then), the art of all the artists I liked.
