One of the problems I have with a lot of movies these days is that everything is too well lit. In the world of digital creations there is a tendency to show too much

So there's kind of a simultaneous aspect to pushing the boundaries, and being very safe

I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced.

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration

But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it

After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators.

Do the story in the way it really demands to be done, which may mean using several different styles or only one style; but it's still about respecting the story
