There's never been a moment where I sat down at my drawing board and thought, 'I'm a pro!'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I almost didn't turn pro at all. I was tempted to be a career amateur. I worked as an investment banker for nine months after I got out of school, and the money was fantastic and promised to get even more lucrative.
I have been drawing all my life.
I thought I would just become a pro at a golf course.
I'm 100% pro-life.
It's not the act of arrogance to draw, it's humbling - you must use your God-given talent. And of all the people I sketch, in most cases I feel I have to measure up to the subject.
And I'm proud of what I do as a professional, too.
I'm a pro! No, what I mean is I have performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. I have been all over the place. I have studied theatre for seven years.
Drawing was a constant in how I expressed myself.
I'm a professional; I feel I'm one of the best in the game.
I am pro-expression. I am pro - you know, as long as you don't hurt anyone.
