Quotes from the same author

I loved being a child. If I do have a talent, it's not so much being an artist, but it's being able to remember back to that time.

I knew that I wanted to be an illustrator since I was in kindergarten. I can remember the exact day. The art teacher usually came to our classroom once a week, but she was absent that day.
