As for the path I took, what can I say, I always liked to draw since I was little, and did so throughout life. There are always obstacles and distraction like we all face, and at times I've fallen off course. The true love that I had for drawing always and quickly brought me back to do it. I believe when you find that " thing", that thing that truly moves you, whatever hardships and difficulties you have melt away.
Through that you find a way to make it happen. Fortunately for me I found it at a very early age.
Its not a 'Secret Origin' so to speak, but more of a fleshing out about the characters from the story that happens after.
OK, more like the unstoppable force hits the immovable object and merge, and in doing this, creates a path that not only effects those around them, but history itself. That is the" Origins" story.
I'd take anything out of the score of The Dark Knight Rises... .probably (mentally checking my music library... Check ing...CHECKIIIIING). RISE! Rise is a great song that captures the essence that is SOF Origins. So, thanks now it looks like I gotta go hire Hans Zimmer to create my soundtrack. Damn!
5) If you could get a celebrity – either living or dead – to promote your wares, who would you choose, and why would you want to choose this particular person? Jesus Christ. Human perfection. Adored by billions. Created miracles. Went through strife. A true Son of Fate. BOOM!
6) Your artwork is great, Jean. To me, it comes across as a mixture of Andy Kubert and Tony Daniels work. What would you say inspired you the most to draw in this manner? Plus what artists do you admire? Thanks for the compliment! The manner in which I draw is just the style I developed through the years. Funny you mentioned Tony's and Andy's work, I like them both, especially Kurbert's early Wolverine, plus Daniel's Batman. Gotta throw in the greats like Arthur Adams, John Byrne, Golden, Perez, Lee, 'da Romitas, Sienkiewicz.... the list goes on.
My biggest influence has always been Japanese Anime, especially early nineties . A lot of people say I have a very anime style. I take that as a true compliment.

As for obstacles, I had a teacher who always said, 'It takes two people to do a painting. One to do it, and another to hit the painter over the head to tell him when to stop'. My writing is the same, except it is three, the first two and a third. The third hits the second guy to get him to hit the first because the second likes the first, who has fallen in love with what the first has done and doesn't want him to stop.
Really, when you think of it, its five guys ... three for the writing, and two for the drawing. In short, I end up liking what I do so much it's hard for me to stop.
9) If ‘Fate’ had a motto, what would it be? Oh! Fate had a motto! Its "Gonna chew you up and spit you out, to see if your worthy!".
We all get asked at one point or another, and how we answer is how were treated. Obstacles, failure, all constructs made to see if you believe enough to overcome and only put there to see if you do.

So there you have it, folks, My mate Jean and his new comic book, 'Sons Of Face: Origins'. When you have the time please check it out on Kickstarter, twitter, or Jean's very own creator owned website. Go on. Click-click. I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it too.
