“How can I answer this without sounding like a total cliché of an artist? Perhaps I can’t, but I’ll answer honestly:
I started drawing when I was a kid because I loved cartoons and was determined—after a fleeting desire to be a circus clown—to become an artist; to be able to tell my own stories some day, or to translate the stories of others through my own artistic voice. I make art because It’s a way for me to synthesize the things I love and the things that interest me and showcase them in a way that’s easily accessible. It’s a way for me to give people a sense of who I am even if they’ve never met me; to leave my mark in the world. And It’s always been a way to fulfill my need to be doing something creative.”
