I had no idea there were all these great stories out there. So, I took another one and another one, and the more children’s books I did, the more I realized that was really what I’d always loved to do. When I was a kid, that’s what I did. I read books, and I drew pictures of what I saw in my head. So when I read The Hobbit, I drew lots of hobbits and Gandalf. I realized I was drawing the same subject matter that I drew as a kid, with baseball players and pirates and knights and things like that.
