Statement:
"Weren't illustration and cartooning once something spectacular? Why has the decadence and glory left us all behind? Don't we work as hard as any one else? Illustrators should be bigger than rock stars, they should dwarf actors like the shadow of big foot. They should reign and conquer and shower down on the earth like an explosion of gold coins. I'm talking about good illustrators, great illustrators, and basically that's all I've ever wanted to be."
