I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

I've come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I've designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I've done conceptual art pictures.

I have had an interest in art since childhood. I loved to draw as a child and still do.

I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.

My own interest in art was because of my mother. My father didn't like contemporary art, so he didn't give her large sums to spend. So, she began buying prints and drawings. During my school days, I remember sitting in on many of the early meetings.

I was always most interested in drawing - most of my childhood drawings are black-and-white line work. And when I kind of abandoned comics, through college and art school, I was doing a lot of painting. But once I started doing comics again, everything else just fell by the wayside.

When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art.

I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.

I enjoyed art in school. I've always done little drawings and stuff like that. I don't really know what I'm doing with the painting, but I experiment.
