I like to come into my workspace and feel it's a living environment and not frozen, which is why I often change or add to the pictures on the wall.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated.
My workspace is a white room with a big computer monitor and a light box. It can be very messy. Sometimes I get into trouble with my husband for that. Then I run around like a lunatic cleaning up and creating the appearance of order.
I prefer a cluttered workspace.
I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.
If I were in a room full of people, I'd rather be the person who is more interesting than the one who is wallpaper.
I write almost entirely in bed or on a couch with my feet up on the coffee table. I feel most creative when I'm looking out the window, and my bed and couch have nice views of the New York skyline.
If I'm going to put my image into something, I'll put my image into something that I actually feel like I'd like to do.
I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.
I have lived in a flurry of images, but I will go out in a freeze frame.
I keep three framed photographs on my desk: the latest school picture of my daughter; a photo of my wife getting her diploma from the University of Chicago; and Lytton Strachey, looking serenely self-possessed.
