I like to think of drawing as a way of narrating.
It involves ideas that I would like to share, but wouldn’t be able to express otherwise. I often have an urge to create characters, to put them into stories and see how they behave.
Other times I choose to say things using single images or moving images.
My inspiration comes from diverse sources: a face spurs an interesting thought; some puzzling lyrics or text urge me to begin a narrative.
I find the unbelievable in the everyday. I like to think that something unexpected is always about to happen!
