SP!: TO ACHIEVE THIS END, WHAT METHODS/VENUES DO YOU USE
TO REACH THAT DEMOGRAPHIC?
Faithfallon.com, the official website.
Steven: One of the methods I use is showing pages to people
NOT into comics to see what they think. It seems counterintuitive, but I am getting a lot of positive feedback, if not stronger feedback, from non-comic people versus fans of comics. I
have a lot of friends who enjoy The Walking Dead or films like
Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, Snyder’s 300, and Mendes’
Road to Perdition, and had no clue they were adapted from
comic books. People love a good story and I hope to give them
one. Other than that, I blog, tweet, and share on Facebook, but
that’s beginning to be useless, since they are throttling posts
unless you pay for them. I guess Zuckerberg decided to f*ck
the cool aspect of Facebook and buy advertising for Mountain
Dew, after all.
SP!: OUTSIDE OF YOUR WORK ON FAITH, YOU’VE ALSO STARTED
WRITING FOR SP! MAGAZINE. WHAT FUELED THIS DECISION?
Steven: Ian promised to sell all the dirty pictures he has on me to
TMZ after Faith Fallon makes it bigJ. Actually, he thought it would
be a good fit. Considering my second interview ended up being the
cover story, I’d say he’s right.
SP!: AS A CREATOR, WHAT BENEFITS DO YOU FEEL CAN COME FROM
PARTICIPATING IN THIS KIND OF WORK? ULTIMATELY, DO YOU FEEL
IT CAN HELP YOUR WORK AS A COMIC/GRAPHIC NOVEL CREATOR?
Steven: Writing for SP! Magazine will help to create an awareness
of Steven Pennella, which in turn helps create an interest in Steven
Pennella’s work. This can only help Faith Fallon. I’m confident this gig
will help me as a creator when it comes to Faith and even with stoking
my creativity at my day job. I’ll do it as long as I have fun with it.
SP!: WHERE CAN FANS FIND YOUR WORK AND ARE YOU CURRENTLY
WORKING ON ANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT FOLKS SHOULD KEEP
