Following my muse has worked out pretty well so far. I can't see any reason to change the formula now.
From Chris Van Allsburg
Some artists claim praise is irrelevant in measuring the success of art, but I think it's quite relevant. Besides, it makes me feel great.
The Dick, Jane, and Spot primers have gone to that bookshelf in the sky. I have, in some ways, a tender feeling toward them, so I think it's for the best.
The idea of the extraordinary happening in the context of the ordinary is what's fascinating to me.
The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding.
There was a great deal of peer recognition to be gained in elementary school by being able to draw well. One girl could draw horses so well, she was looked upon as a kind of sorceress.
I don't like to travel. Yet all my books seem to involve a journey.
The general effect of viewing 'Jumanji' is thrilling. I was able to see on film a thing that at one point had only existed in my imagination. I got to see the images from my book come alive.
I'm always a bit disappointed when I've finished working on a book.
I am never really surprised at the way my books take shape. They are just not as perfect as I'd like them to be.
