I'm more into graphic novels than comic books.

I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.

I minored in creative writing in college, and I've played with the idea of doing something more hybrid, but comics are my first love.

I think I've been able to build up a wide range of styles in storytelling, using comics in different ways from project to project. I think my art has become more accomplished, although I try to keep it from becoming slick or superficial.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

It wasn't until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.

I love graphic design. I love working with design, and I love storytelling, so I've been working on a children's book for a while, and I'd like to see that through.

I hadn't thought specifically about doing graphic novels until a couple of my friends got contracts for them. Then I started picturing how various of my stories or poems would work in an illustrated format and thinking how cool that would be.

I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.

For English assignments I was constantly coming up with these strange adventure stories... But I actually wanted to be an artist, or maybe work in the comic book industry.
