But if I really want to produce my own work and tell stories, then I will.

But there's still an avenue for smaller comics and personal expression.

Cartooning is an honorable thing.

Comics are really my life blood in a lot of respects.
- Bill Sienkiewicz Quote

Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story.

Especially with Elektra, because I'm doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra.
