You see, I don't draw from life at all, but I do look out of my window a lot.

Being positive may be a character defect of mine.

I do like children, but only as people. Not as if they're a special category.

I don't think there's an illustrator who's as good as a Titian or a Rembrandt... but then, Rembrandt was a bit of an illustrator on the quiet, you know?

With my pictures, what I hope is that it encourages the reader to imagine more pictures of his own.

Guinea pigs are quite difficult to draw, I think, because they're so furry.
