Comics taught me how to write, and also patience and confidence.
I think sometimes older people wind up being a little childlike. They've done their time, now they get to do what they want.
You may look normal like everyone else, but you're not. Not on the inside.
Animation taught me to draw quickly and clearly and to communicate a character's feelings through his or her body language and facial expressions.
Impressing a bunch of snooty teenagers is a pretty lame life goal to have.
I love drawing what the character is feeling, in my comics, with no dialogue.
