What makes you decide to create your work? An inner and outer need
Where do your talents lie? To look and to listen
What successes have you had so far? To spend my days mainly doing what I like to do
What was the first creative thing that you ever did? My first comic strip was the birth of a zebra, drawn when I was 4.
Has anyone taught you how to use your talent better? Lot's of people: both living and dead.
