Katie: Hi Anthony, can you start by telling me a little about your company and the Grimm line?

Anthony: What I do with the company is I am the Staff Artist/Art Director. Right now I've mostly been doing covers sometimes I'll do some interior art of my own. I scout talent to use on our books and I help out with the overall art direction of the company. If there's a character that needs to be designed often times I'll be the one to design the new character.

Katie: And which characters are specifically doing right now?

Anthony: My most recent thing is Sela who's the main character of the Grimm Fairy Tales. I got her new costume which is going to be her regular costume, in issue #75, we needed a new look for that so I came up with a new design for her.

I also designed a new villain but he's a top secret character for an upcoming series that hasn't been announced yet so I can't talk about it. But he's very creepy and he looks alienish.

Katie: How long have you been with the company?

Anthony: I've been with the company about 2 and half years. I started off as a freelancer, my first issue was Grimm Fairy Tales #42 and after about a year they brought me on as art director and staff artist. Every things worked out great so far, it's been fun.

Katie: Is there anything upcoming that you can share with us?

Anthony: There's a lot of really cool new books coming up this Fall. We have three new mini series Godstorm is one it's Greek/Roman Gods, Robin Hood is a female Robin Hood and she's really badass then Sleepy Hollow with the headless horseman. He's really cool, he's got peoples heads strapped to him, it's pretty creepy.

Katie: If you had to pick a favorite Ninja Turtle who would it be?

Anthony: I always liked Donatello.

Katie: Name your celebrity fantasy crush and tell me why?

Anthony: Oh Wow! This is a tough one. Emma Stone she's great. I use her to model one of our characters after. *chuckles*

Katie: Now its time for a few rapid fire questions! Just answer with the first thing that pops in.

Katie: Cut or Bruise?

Anthony: Bruise

Katie: Earthquake or Hurricane?

Anthony: Hurricane

Katie: Coke or Pepsi?

Anthony: Pepsi

Sharon squeals in background.

Katie: Jog or Speed walk?

Katie: John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?

Anthony: Clint's cool, I like Clint.

Katie: Sword or Dagger?

Anthony: I'm a sword type myself.
