I’m working from a completed script, but I always end up straying from it a bit during the art stages. It’s how I keep myself motivated. And considering I have no publisher behind this project yet, I have to find ways to remain creatively charged enough to produce a new page every week. Just like the reader, I want to be surprised. Juggling the writing and art and everything in-between can be a laborious process. That’s why I’ve chosen to completely finish one page at a time, rather than turn myself into a one-person assembly line, finishing all the pencils, going back to add the inks, etc etc. I’ve done that before in previous books and it’s nightmarish. Making comics is hard work, especially when I’m taking ownership of every single thing on the page. With HARK, no nightmares. At least, not yet.
