I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life.

I'm always looking for the next challenge.

I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.

The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.

I never had a job. I bought my first house within a year of getting out of school, and I built a custom one four and a half years later. The Art Center didn't teach much about business, but I learned a lot from the Fortune 500 companies that were my clients.

You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

I cannot tell you how many people, powerful people, come to my studio and they are in tears they are so moved by what they see.
