Oeming, would you ever give up the art side of comics?

[Thudpucker]

I really hope you don't, I love your art. But I notice that alot of creators (like Bendis, Austen, and Willingham, ect.) when they get popular as writers, they stop drawing.

I never get that. If you are as good as these guys were, how can you give it up completely? Do you think you would stop drawing too?

[Mike Haseloff]

Oh man, I hope Oeming never gives up the art.

I'm pretty black and white about these things generally, though.
I'll always see Oeming as an artist, no matter how much writing he does.

Whereas, someone like a Miller, although a competant artist, will always seem like a writer to me. This isn't so much a product of their defining works, or what I'm personally most familiar with, but rather, more about their vibrations as creators.

Oeming, to me, feels more like an artist.
Not to say he can't handle both sides.

I'm definitely a bigger fan of his art too.
It'd be a travesty for him to give it away.

[JABSEN]

I would hate to see him give up the art,especially since he has such a unique style.
But I will say I haven't read something written by him and been disapointed

[Shannon Chenoweth]

I would sure hope he wouldn't give up drawing. Though, I doubt he would. He seems to really enjoy it.

If he gave up drawing, I would be as annoying as Goddard is to Bendis about him drawing again!

[Oeming]

Yea, forget that Im not giving up drawing. I think Im a much better artist than I am a writer. Dont sweat it.
Allthough I may give up both for stripping

Very good to hear that, I'd really miss your art when you become a big, famous writter

Why do you think the creators who give up their art do that? Is it just the time constraint issues, or do they lose interest in it?

[Oeming]

Most find they are really writers first, artist second.
I'll probably start writing and drawing more of my own stuff by myself though,less writing for companies.
