Like 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 SIENKIEWICZComics are really my life blood in a lot of respects
BILL SIENKIEWICZBut if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will
BILL SIENKIEWICZAnd that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It’s an avenue to say what you want to say
BILL SIENKIEWICZCartooning is an honorable thing
BILL SIENKIEWICZI wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work
BILL SIENKIEWICZSo there’s kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe
BILL SIENKIEWICZTo me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.
BILL SIENKIEWICZI wanted to be complete, because I figured that, visually, there was an avenue to explore with painted stuff
BILL SIENKIEWICZSo much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
BILL SIENKIEWICZThere is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don’t want to work.
BILL SIENKIEWICZBut with comics you’re reading and assimilating an image simultaneously, instead of just reading or watching the tube
BILL SIENKIEWICZI still love a lot of the guys who just paint
BILL SIENKIEWICZIf you’re going to establish a certain level of unreality than you have to deal with it
BILL SIENKIEWICZFor a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States
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
