Benny Bunny Production Blog

I remember somewhere I once read Chris Ware saying that when he's drawing comics pages, he turns off everything. He isolates himself from all outside stimuli because he doesn't want any of it creeping in and influencing the work. Me, I go the other way. I want the entirety of the outside world rushing into it. I want my comics to be pop art that way. When I'm drawing comics, I've typically got a movie on the TV with the volume off (just for the pictures), music or an audio seminar on my iTunes, and stopping frequently to play a video game.

There's some magic thing that happens when I draw a comics page. It's as though I'm charging each line with some mystical force that turns it into a time capsule so that when I look at it later, whatever was going on around me and even what I was thinking just then all comes rushing back to me. I hope that you get some of that sensation when you look at the book after it's done.

Sean on the Radio

Hey! Be in a car or at home this Saturday afternoon so you can hear me get interviewed on the radio by Barry Taylor on Edge 102.1 FM. That's a Toronto radio station, but you international cats & kittens can tune in via www.edge.ca

I'll be on at 3:45 PM talking about the new record, the new comic book, and the new lease on life.

Dig it!
