I work on stories rather than individual pictures.

Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.

I think readers' imaginations are far more powerful than anything you can put on a page and, therefore, can conjure up graphic images for themselves, which I think you just have to nudge them towards.

It's too bad for us 'literary' enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless - pictures tell any story more effectively than words.

I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.

I love picture books - with picture books, you can use words and pictures as a double act, even tell two different versions of a story at the same time.

As writers, we do our best to conjure a world so vivid that the reader can practically walk through it - but we're still only using words and relying on readers to do a lot of work of imagining. Providing pictures as well as words offers a whole new dimension to the experience of consuming a story.

Literature is the stringing together of pictures in words.

With my pictures, what I hope is that it encourages the reader to imagine more pictures of his own.

As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you're not being redundant between images and text.
