Asked how he comes up with ideas for new comic strips, Smith answered: “I still read a lot of comics as well as other literature, and like everyone, I think I just absorb concepts and ideas which pop out in another form later on.
We were curious how Anthony’s style or approach evolved over the course of his career, and we found out: “I think it’s been less about my style evolving and more about developing new styles for various jobs. I think you need flexibility these days.”
Lastly, we were wondering if Anthony could give any advice to aspiring comic artists looking to break into the industry. Smith said: “That’s tricky because opportunities in the local press and small publishing houses aren’t what they used to be and that’s how I started.On the flip side, there are now so many opportunities to showcase work on online platforms, so I think if I were starting out again, I’d concentrate on building a presence online.”
