Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something
BILL SIENKIEWICZNothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something
BILL SIENKIEWICZThere is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don’t want to work.
BILL SIENKIEWICZAfter that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators.
BILL SIENKIEWICZSo there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe
BILL SIENKIEWICZAnd that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It’s an avenue to say what you want to say
BILL SIENKIEWICZEspecially with Elektra, because I’m doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra.
BILL SIENKIEWICZBut with comics you’re reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube
BILL SIENKIEWICZIf you’re going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it
BILL SIENKIEWICZI want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced.
BILL SIENKIEWICZTo me, that’s one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that’s a completely different approach
BILL SIENKIEWICZI wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff
BILL SIENKIEWICZOne of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much
BILL SIENKIEWICZLike Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident
BILL SIENKIEWICZAnd I’ve never viewed comics as assignments for the client
BILL SIENKIEWICZBut if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will
BILL SIENKIEWICZI still love a lot of the guys who just paint
