Brian Level joined me for âthe talk,â but straight-off, we got really into our thoughts and feeling about freelancing, comics, creativity, and [much] deeper subjects.
Brian effortlessly moves between writing and drawing on projects like SAINT JANE OF THE ORCHARD SILK HILLS, CHAINED TO THE GRAVE, THE MANTLE, and THE BROTHERS JAMES. We were so caught up in our talk that we never touched on his latest Kickstarter comic campaign, THE UNSLEEPING EYE. A A 40-page B&W horror comic by Brian and co-creator and KURT BELCHER.
