From the earliest age I can remember, I was always drawing pictures. So it was kind of a natural fit. Before I was even able to write, my mom would write the stories. I would dictate, and my mom would type the stories for me, and then I would draw the pictures to go along with it — which I’d actually forgotten until my parents moved about five years ago. She found some of these things when they were moving and sent them to me.
They are terrible stories. They’re just awful. They just go on and on and on. There’s no plot or anything, but I loved them. You know, it was something that I took to naturally. I really never thought of it as a career, even growing up. It was just something I did to play — which, I guess is the greatest thing you could say about your job — that it just feels like play to me.
