Apologies to everyone! here is an interview with the Great Eric Kostiuk Williams [http://www.kostiukwilliams.com/]. His latest work is Our Wretched Town Hall from Retrofit. I love love love Eric’s work. It’s political, funny and beautifully drawn. He is able to work out some really complicated topics while also keeping things strangely stunning and outrageous. Eric also has Condo Heart Break Disco from Koyama Press.

I love comics. Dearly. But they are hard. It’s hard to keep up and understand what’s going on. A nice can of monster can be the only thing that gets me up and out the door in the morning. I’ve been thinking really hard about who i am and my place in the world, and i think it’s important to try and do for energy drinks, what i have been doing for Inkstuds for the past 14 years. Expect deep talk on life and the challenges it brings. I am joined by my friend Simon, who has similarly found joy in energy drinks. Taking him to the next level during his immigration to America. Using these powerful brews to better understand the American zeitgeist. Please enjoy, the first episode of DRINKSTUDS

I have always been really into his work and fascinated by his approach. He’s currently the artist on Green Lantern with writer Grant Morrison. His most recent work includes Brave and the Bold Wonder Woman/Batman which he wrote, and the Wonder Woman work with writer Greg Rucka.

His latest book, The Winner from Retrofit/Big Planet [http://retrofit.storenvy.com/products/21588110-the-winner-by-karl-stevens], is a great move forward in his work and shows some amazing growth and introspection. I am really excited by his work and where he is taking it.
