Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.

I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.

The storyboard department doesn't talk to the layout department, which doesn't talk to the writing department. They're all jealous of each other.

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.

The generic Canadian style of illustration is different from the generic American style.
