00:04Comic books have been long looked upon as sort of the bastard stepchild of illustration and
00:11fine art and I don't believe that. A comic book artist or an illustrator or a fine artist,
00:17art is art and I don't see any difference. It was a revolutionary you know tour de force and
00:23really kind of showed me what could be done in this medium. It's this whole other field. It's
00:29more than just a comic book character. There's painting there you know and that's inspiring.
00:36I always associate Sienkiewicz with an air of naughtiness, an air of getting away with something.
00:44That's what the art looks like. It's almost like a like a Picasso-esque collage and you have no idea
00:51what to expect. To me I've always felt like a mad scientist. So for me comics and painting and art
00:59has been whatever sticks to the paper.
01:08There were people that painted comic pages but not like Bill. He pushed the form forward.
01:14Well his work transcends comics. If that's a thing to do his work definitely does it.
01:42Bill Gold asked Clint, you know, who do you want? Give it to that Polish guy.
01:46And when I when I heard that it was one of the best days of my life having Clint Eastwood
01:51refer to me as
01:51that Polish guy. I said that that's gonna stick.
01:57Thank you for that.
01:57Sir,
01:57you
