I've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.

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.

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.

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 grew up thinking art was pictures until I got into music and found I was an artist and didn't paint.

I never studied art, but taught myself to draw by imitating the New Yorker cartoonists of that day, instead of doing my homework.
