My drawing came out of editorial-style cartoons. Music was one thing and art was another, and there weren't really any standards for my art. My work was just drawings. They weren't done with any aspirations of becoming a part of punk scene. They weren't about punk. They were just collections of drawings, some of which I xeroxed and sold.

Most writers do similar things in their minds. It's how the mind works, basically.

My work is more driven by the creative word. It's immersed in other writing and printed work, rather than drawn so much from life or past experience.

If you don't use an image now you might have a place to put it in further down the line - and I have a lot of unfinished drawings.

I was very influenced by comics. The drawing style, definitely, I was interested in. My style of drawing is largely a comic style, but it's also much more obvious than comics.

I don't have extravagant tastes or expenses - like with cars, clothes, or whatever.

Whenever I reference something, it usually comes back at some point. I don't know why.
