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.

Fairy tales only happen in movies." -George Melies from The Invention of Hugo Cabret

A friend suggested that I get a job at a children's book store so I could meet kids and read books, and that turned out to be the single best bit of advice I've ever gotten.

It's fun to see how other artists adapt my work.

If you've ever wondered where your dreams come from when you go to sleep at night, just look around. This is where they are made.

I hope the snow covers everything so all the footsteps are silenced, and the whole city can be at peace.

I've always loved children's books - it's not that I didn't like them, I just didn't think I wanted to do that. But then I suddenly realized I did.
