Your house is all about routine, not the unexpected events of your life.

My ideas are not meant to suggest dreams or reality, but a surreal quality.

As much as I'd like to meet the tooth fairy on an evening walk, I don't really believe it can happen.

At first, I see pictures of a story in my mind. Then creating the story comes from asking questions of myself. I guess you might call it the 'what if - what then' approach to writing and illustration.
