Like everyone, I want to make my own "fine art."
In real life, people are going by fast and it's hard to draw them from my eye alone in a split second.
Often the energy of a piece is more exciting to me than the subject.
I've kept voluminous diaries since I was eighteen, and do a lot of experimental writing.
I like to follow my own muse.
You set your reality and carefully construct it so that it has a certain feeling, an energy. That's the vital, visceral thing about making an illustration.
