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

There are artists who are writers, but there was no such thing as cartoons that were written by somebody who couldn't draw.

My style is very strong poses and expressions.

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.

There's tons of people with talent; it's the system that's all screwed up.

When you're animating a music video, you have to animate to some set music. You're somewhat restricted by that, but you're also inspired by that. The animation becomes secondary if you're animating to a music video. Either way, it's important. Music has really helped my animation, that's for sure.

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.
