Artist Liam Sharp has been drawing all of his life.

He grew up in the small industrial town of Derby, located in the UK midlands.

When did you decide that illustrating and art was your passion?

There was never a time I didnt draw.

And everybody around me teachers, family, friends just assumed thats what I would do.

Oddly theres quite a lot of pressure in that assumption!

You have a lot to live up to!

What do you love most about being an artist?

What do you like the least?

Making worlds and telling stories!

Seriously though, there are always things we lean towards.

Or even alien technology.

Where did you get your start?

This is my 30th year.

I started out as an assistant to the late, very great Don Lawrence.

Ive worked for almost all the larger companies now over the years!

You discussed previously that you worked with heavy metal band Danzig.

They are known for being a bit on the wild side.

What was that like?

The upside was having a lot of creative freedom.

That said, Im becoming more, shall we say, politically correct as I grow older.

Hell, it would offend me!

I think I might just have been testing myself seeing how far I dared to go.

It was sort of celebratory extreme violence, and thats not like me at all!

Right place, right time, and a style that is made for that comic.

And he said yes it would, and did I have any WW samples?

I said I didnt, but I would have come Monday… And thats how it happened!

Whats it like working with DC Comics and writer Greg Rucka?

There are three of us coordinating the book, which will be twice monthly.

Im onWonder Womanyear 10, which will be issues 1,3,5, etc.

and the exceptional Nicola Scott is doing Year One through the even numbered titles.

Were staying fairly in contact as I speak to Greg every few days.

Hes a fantastic collaborator, and an exceptional writer especially his great, natural dialogue.

He gets a lot of story over in a very deliberate and effective way.

Were also aligned in our world and ethical views.

How did you decide on the particulars of the artwork?

How did the story help shape your vision?

I knew I wanted to bring in a lot of detail thats my thing.

I wanted it to be theRed Nailsof Wonder Woman stories epic and beautiful.

What were some of the difficulties, or, challenges you experienced while illustrating for the comic?

Its been just a thrill!

Where do you hope to see the success ofWonder Womana year from now?

I hope this run becomes seminal.

A character as iconic as Wonder Woman cannot be owned.

Youre just another aspect of the gorge through which that legacy flows.

We will be inextricably tied to that legacy, and thats a hell of an honor!

Can you provide any advice for those looking to create art for large comic book companies like DC?

Draw panel to panel storytelling.

Dont just draw the icons as no one gets to start out on them!

Draw everything especially the stuff you dont like to draw.

You have to love drawing more than you love drawing the stuff you love!

What can fans expect from you personally in the future?

Beyond that who knows?

Be on the lookout for Liams artwork in the upcomingWonder Womancomics.
