Mushynsky, whose full Ukrainian name is Andreas Vasylovych Muszyskyj, traces an unusual path to comics inking: born in a Displaced Persons Camp in postwar Germany, he later worked in avant-garde theatre, tenant-rights activism, and publishing before gravitating toward inking through a studio he shared with DC inker Bob Smith. He discusses his tools and techniques (Sable #3 brush, Hunt #102 crowquill pen), the differences between inking the detail-heavy G.I. Joe versus the more open superhero forms in The Vision and Scarlet Witch, and his admiration for artists like John Byrne and Bill Sienkiewicz who can "turn on" creative flow without self-censorship. He expresses frustration at being overlooked while working on G.I. Joe despite its strong sales, and aspires to eventually move into pencilling.
