I love being an illustrator because I get to read really great stories, work with amazing people, travel and see places I never would've seen. And I get to draw all the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love illustrating for other writers because I am given stories I never would have thought of, and my work as an illustrator is always in support of the story.
I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.
I've always been drawn to artists who paint for the everyday person. I love the American illustrators.
I love all kinds of art. I mean, I love sketching and acting and music.
I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.
I actually started out as a writer and then converted to illustration because I realised that there was a dearth of good illustrators in genre fiction, at least in Australia at that time.
I paint. I love the visual arts.
I like to stay artistic. So I always like to draw or write.
Few people know that I am also an artist; I truly enjoy sketching and drawing.
I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.
