You don't think of tape as a fine art supply. And Archie is iconic. Working with something as iconic as Archie – and something as discarded as Archie-I can make something cool and unique.

I don't see them as comic books. I look at them and I see great arcs, pinks against reds; I start building with the stuff and pretty soon a design starts to happen.

The museum was interested in me for a long time because I use Archie comics in my art.
