Newsarama interviewed Tom Feister recently, whose work has appeared on IDW's GI Joe books, such as GI Joe Origins. The interview is informative, with Feister talking about his artistic influences and his thoughts behind illustrating his pieces. It also has some advice aimed at aspiring comic artists, like the following words of wisdom:

Get into comics because you love it and you think you can bring something to the artform. The last few years I find a new artist nearly every day that makes me think "Ooooo, I want to know how they did that." I feel like I know less. When I was in college and showing off my samples I thought it was pretty hot stuff. Now I look and I think about how much I have left to learn. But that's not a bad thing. Rockwell was experimenting with his craft until he died. That's how I want to go out. I would tell people coming up to find people working in the biz and spend as much time with them as possible. Learn everything you can. Even if it's what not to do. Try and remember those lessons.
