Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.

One of the reasons why you like to do your own drawings is, your style changes over time. And there's something about that that keeps it fresh to the viewer.

Maybe I could have been good as a drawer if I had done it as much as I did writing, but it's more scary to draw. It's more revealing. You can't disguise yourself in drawing.

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

People can't draw now and don't feel it's necessary. Art students don't seem to want to draw.

I've always been much more comfortable with drawing fantasy stuff.

I want to bring drawing back to the basics, make it about the pleasure that it can afford and remove the notion that it's some kind of precious or difficult activity. It's another way of telling a story.

I have a fairly limited drawing style. I'm not like my friend Derek Kirk Kim, who can pretty much change his style at will. My drawing style can handle some of my stories, but not all of them.

Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.

For me, drawing is a way of navigating the imagination, and it remains the fundamental vehicle of my practice. Drawing allows me to be at my most inventive.
