To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.

If somebody can inspire me, it feels really special.

So cartooning, for me, is an honorable thing. It's pushing the envelope. It's the truth of something through exaggeration.

That was a real learning element for me, because I realized that the more true you are to yourself, the more you will lose people.

So I look at a lot of stuff now that I did and some of it looks tame to me, but my interest in terms of what I want to say with it is a little different.

To me, that's one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that's a completely different approach.
