A cartoonist is a writer, an actor, a director and an artist. We write, act and direct every scene. Even the camera work is important! The drawing is the final stage of the productions and the time, for me, when I can touch the imaginary images, feel them, bring them to life!

Penciling my thoughts first, frame by frame, expression by expression, I act out every movement. I picture every scene and project that image onto the page - in pencil. When the panels are completed, the inking is done. Inking the drawing is an experience I always look forward to. It's like having a ghost in front of me, and by reaching out, moving my pen around its form, touching it, pressing against its face, its body, feeling it, I make it real. This part of my job is pure pleasure! After all these years, I still think of it as a kind of magic, and I wonder how and why this magic was entrusted to me!
