I attending a talk that Mike Mignola was doing as he was in Leeds for the Thought Bubble weekend. It was held in the lecture Theatre.
He is mostly known for his graphic Novel, Hell Boy, which is been created into films.
I found his talk very interesting. I noted how he mentioned how he strives to create work that "Reflects me". He admitted to being a workaholic and how he is constantly thinking about different stories. Mike Mignola said multiple times that he does things because they're fun, and he enjoys them and that it never really feels like work to him. He also touched up on how frustrating it could be working in the industry. He spoke about how annoying it could be to pass on his sketches and images to another artist to ink or colour, and have them completely mess it up. When he spoke about his style, he said that " your style finds you" which i found is reassuring as I still haven't found my style yet.
I found this talk to be inspiring and interesting. As a big fan of the Hell Boy comics, it was really fun to sit and listen to the creator, and have him talk about his approach to certain tasks.
