Being an artist means having a solitary profession, at least in my case. I'm not complaining about that; I couldn't get anything done if I had to work with other people. I simply would not be able to concentrate. Especially in the first phase, the design of a new drawing. I usually play some calm music in the back ground, like early lute music, or some baroque music, or jazz. All instrumental, the human voice in itself is a huge distraction. But then, if the whole thing is ready in its penciled form, the second, boring phase begins: the tracing. Here I can listen to anything I want, but the best thing is to listen to something intellectual a bit challenging, so you're mind is drawn away from the work.

One of the things I try to do, in a very modest way, is give the site a feel of one, coherent world. Of course I can't do that in a way that huge companies like Marvel and DC Comics do that, but I try to do the best I can, for instance by making references to story A, in story B. There is one character for example that was introduced many years ago in a comic strip called The Debt. Now, I let him and his company pop up again in another strip, The Club, many years later. And quite recent, he was the main antagonist in one of our short stories, the Present.
