I'm an illustrator. I have to accept my role.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am the first to point out that I really am not kind to illustrators. By that, I mean I really don't give that much to work with.
You don't put your head above the parapet and become a personality if you're an illustrator - it's not part of it; it's not possible. You are a servant to the story.
I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.
I love being an illustrator because I get to read really great stories, work with amazing people, travel and see places I never would've seen. And I get to draw all the time.
As an undergraduate I held many small jobs as an illustrator.
The writing process isn't something I'm in love with. I'm an illustrator who writes.
I'm a cartoonist. I write and draw comic books and graphic novels. I'm also a coder.
I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.
I accept a role only if it's something I really, really like.
I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.
