Basically, My Work Is Play. It Never

Basically, My Work Is Play. It Never Actually Feels That Way - I'm Always Aiming To Attain That State. But I Get To Do For A Living What I Did As A Child For Fun, And That's Pretty Cool.

The Writing Is Hard, And The Drawing Is Fun. It's Very Satisfying To See A Drawing Start To Come Together.

I Could Not Do What I Do If I Were Not Obsessive Compulsive To A Certain Extent. I Don't Act Clinically Ocd. I'm Not Going To Check Things So Many Times I Have To Take Drugs For It. But The Kind Of Complicated And Painstaking Work I Have To Do To Make My Drawings, It Just Kind Of Harnesses That Compulsive Energy In A Constructive Way.

It Was A Vicious Cycle, Though. The More Gratification We Found In Our Own Geniuses, The More Isolated We Grew.

And Partly, The Worst Thing You Could Do In My Family Was Need Something From Someone. So Physical Strength Represented An Avenue Of Self-sufficiency To Me.
