As a long time fan of your crazy art, what has been the wackiest thing you have had the chance to draw?
My personal favorite of yours has to be your recent take on Joker in the Last Knight on Earth’s mechanized robin, and is there any chance of seeing him again? <3

Hi Greg! Thanks for doing this. I just saw your livestream on Instagram and I heard you mention that you’d love to work on Swamp Thing, and I saw a few panels that included him in Death Metal on Twitter, what can we expect to see from him in Death Metal? P.S., musician to musician, what kind of music do you hear when drawing Swampy?

Hello Greg and welcome to DC Universe!

My question: in previous interviews you mentioned how your fandom of Metal music has been a major influence. As an artist, how do you channel the essence of that style of music into your artwork?

When I read any script, a movie plays in my head. I read the script several times, watching the movie several times, from there, I decide which shots work best, which shots won’t work in a comic book even though they would work in a film. Then, I scribble out my ideas to make sure they work. If they do, I start drawing. If they don’t, I watch the movie again.

Any anatomy book will help to get you started. I am a big believer of learning what is going on beneath the skin to help you gain better understanding of what’s going on on the surface. Doing a lot of quick gestural drawings of people in natural situations will help you to understand balance, expression, etc.
