I am interested in drawings that tell stories. Whether it is accomplished in a single drawing or an entire series. Whenever I set about drawing, I think in terms of filmmaking. If I were watching this as a movie, what would I see? I am attracted to specificity in details, whether it is in the style of a character’s costume or in the world they inhabit. Details help lend a scene credibility and thus heighten the emotional investment. The stories that interest me are such that have the capacity to excite an audience.
