- Illustration is about more than just drawing pictures - it is about translating the world around us into something more than reality.
- Illustration is, at its core, communication. Illustration is never without purpose, message, or meaning.
- Illustration is freedom. More than strictly representational forms of art, illustration allows the artist to be playful, and to play with different media, techniques, and ways of crafting images, without always being restricted by the confines of reality. Part of why I love is illustration, is that sometimes the image is - oddly - the least important part, and it is the message at the core of the image that really speaks.
- This sort of follows on from my last point, but illustration is so freeing in that rarely do right and wrong come into play. Obviously all art is subjective, but especially in storytelling, or narrative illustration, how the artist manages to get from A to B, sometimes in the most offbeat way,
- To me, personally, illustration is about storytelling. I love, storytelling, I love stories and I love characters. and so naturally, ilustration for me always comes back to my love of illuminating stories.
