Artist Jon Haward, who is busy working on the superb Classical Comics books as the series Art Director, has been interviewed by Terry Hooper over on www.comicbits-online.com.
“The photo of me was taken in Mark Burrell’s studio,” says Jon. “The portrait of me [titeled “Big Jon and the Bubblegum Gods”] was painted by Mark and is now on show at the Norwich Castle Open Art Show till 23rd November.”
The interview talks a lot about Jon’s youth and different things i’he’s drawn and shows a fair bit of art /different styles. “I guess I adapt as I go along!” Jon told us.
