JOE PHILLIPS: Art

You are quite the Renaissance man, when it comes to art. You illustrate, animate, paint, and sculpt. Do you have a favorite?
"Simple drawing takes the top but I love paper sculpting a lot now."

Who were/are some of your biggest influences on your artistic style?
"Hate to say, but early on I was a John Bryne clone. As soon as I found Anime like G-Force, I was so Manga. Then I liked Walt Simonson and somewhere along the way I found myself and now my art looks like none of that."

Is there anything you don't like to draw?
"Horses"

You've worked in the comic industry for a long time. What words of wisdom do you have for those lookin to make a career for themselves?
"Give up the idea of the one project that will make you a star. Learn to like Ramen noodles. Work hard but be smart, listen to creative criticisms, and don't be afraid to fail. Take time to do life drawings. Go to restaurants and draw people. Get use to capturing the little things on paper. Make your art emotional to you. And don't copy other artist, it makes you incorporate their flaws into your style and besides they already have that guy, they want someone new."

What tips can you offer for overcoming blocks in creativity?
"Say these 7 words over and over and it erases all creative blocks: 'Would you like fries with that, sir?' If that doesn't scare you silly and lift creativity, you need more help than I can give."

What are you currently working on?
"The next House of Morecock animated film due out later this year."

Jonas Morecock will be back in a second movie and you've been working hard on several mainstream pitches. What's ahead for your duo, Stonewall and Riot?
"Maybe a second film, but I think if we did it, I would do it in 2D and make it more comic book like."
