Lewis said this when people asked him why he wrote books for children. This reminds me to keep in mind the origin of what I love most...drawing. Before I knew what Marvel or D.C. was, before I knew what a comic book, or super hero was, I drew pictures. I love drawing. I can't recall what I liked drawing the most, probably because I drew so much there is no way to remember. I drew all the time, with any tool that created a line on paper. <BR/><BR/>Amongst the contracts, negotiations, signings, failed projects, good and bad reviews, deadlines, tussles with editors and studio execs., 35 airports a year, the same convention halls over and over, and anything else that goes along with the professional artist label...it is easy for me to forget what I wanted to do this for. <BR/><BR/>I love drawing. <BR/><BR/>That's the end of it really. I love it. I love the kid that lives here no matter how many books I sell, or how much money I put in the bank. I need to remind myself to put away the childish "desire to be very grown up." and just put pencil to paper. I never used to need anyone to like what I drew. I didn't know to want it. I just wanted to turn a blank piece of paper into something, anything, just as long as it looked fun. An animal, a world that I have never seen, a twist on the world I have. Amongst all the things that have over shadowed that ideal, I have lost the child. <BR/><BR/>After hearing this quote, I wrote it down and pinned it on the bulletin board in front of my table. That's why these warm up drawings started happening. I always told myself I didn't have time to draw anything for fun, I had to work. But, like those parents who have kids and need to make time for them no matter what...I am reminding myself to do the same. <BR/><BR/>PLEASE GO TO SKOTTIE YOUNG'S BLOG AND COMMENT THERE <BR/><BR/>AND REMIND YOURSELF TO DO THE SAME <BR/><BR/>THANKXCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17485282.post-38316138643212143452007-07-16T20:32:00.000-07:002007-07-16T20:32:00.000-07:00i think its the looki think its the lookCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17485282.post-70477669988484814662007-07-16T20:31:00.000-07:002007-07-16T20:31:00.000-07:00actually this pretty damn hotactually this pretty damn hotCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.com
