What is the aim or goal of your writing: Writing and illustrating for children is the richest professional experience I have had. I am drawn to the absurd, and find that most children are too. It is my goal to write and illustrate stories that surprise and delight, while making people laugh. Perseverance is an important factor in my publishing books successfully, as well as continually working on my craft.
