My love affair with art and drawing began when I realized what cartoons were. My dad would share the newspaper comics with me, and eventually would hand them over everyday after he was through reading the paper.

In trying to copy newspaper comics and the cartoon characters on my school folders (Garfield, Snoopy, and the like), I taught myself to draw. As I got older, I started creating my own characters, and have never really stopped. Eventually, I was a cartoonist for my college newspaper, but now I enjoy writing and illustrating books for children.
