Q&A

What motivates you? There would be always something else to do with my time, but illustration is the most fulfilling thing to do for me. Since I got that straight and to the point of a conscious decision it gives the best motivation. Any wise words of advice? When I figured out that I want to do illustration, I was pretty confident that it is a thing I could do. I was not doubting it very much. So I hope it is the same for other people figuring out their thing. If you doubt something too much there is probably reason for it. Good topics for party talk? Weather. Favorite things to do when not creating? Music...also while creating. What would the ultimate job be? illustrating Moby Dick.
