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

There are instances where lines in my work are borrowed or stolen from sources, mainly from books, or they become my own versions. A lot of the writing is my own, too. But if someone were to take each drawing and trace it back to its source, most of them could be traced back to a book or a text.

I wouldn't want to be defined so much by comics or cartoons. My work is more narrative than that. If you take your basic cartoon, there's always a punchline or a joke at the end. My drawings don't depend on that so much.

Sometimes there's a vacuum that has to be covered.

Art comes after the fact, as a witness to certain things that have happened.

Forgiveness is the nature of my art in general. It's expressing love and compassion, the kinds of things that don't make sense in any other context other than emotive expression.

There's always a latent or inferred image in my writing. And I can almost always assume if I do a drawing that it will eventually have text.
