From an early age, I had always loved drawing. Laying on the floor, in front of the fire, drawing from my imagination, marching soldiers, dive bombers, spaceships and monsters. Now, suddenly, I was drawing from real life!

I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.

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

When I was a kid, I never felt that what I was drawing really represented me; it was just something I enjoyed.

As long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

I have always been drawn to young characters and seeing big tapestries through the eyes of a child. It probably comes from being a father myself and having a young son and seeing the world through his eyes. I write stories that are sort of the exaggerated version of that.

When I was a kid, I loved to draw, and I was lucky because I had parents and teachers and grown-ups around who recognised and encouraged that.

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing, but it was always in the service of an idea. I drew all the time, and I enjoyed making.

I loved the idea of seeing the world through a boy's eyes.
