The world that I create is a world full of bubbly eyed creatures that dance and play. There isn’t supposed to be a deep meaning or purpose behind it. It is what it is. My characters float around wielding daggers, they talk about poop, and they vomit a lot. I don’t want them to worry about life. I want them to play and dance and be happy. I’ve chosen to become a professional cartoonist with my life. I have no real intentions of becoming rich or famous. I simply enjoy drawing fun, light-hearted pictures that make people smile. I don’t want to start an amusement park or have my characters printed on every lunch pail in America. The most I can dream of is to have a small apartment with my wife where we can have a nice garden and make artwork, comics, and music for people to enjoy. Maybe one day we’ll have children and they can enjoy the world we’ve created for them; a world of bubbly eyed creatures that dance and play. The world I desire is simple, but the world we live in is not. Now a days, it seems that we’re not allowed to live simple lives. In order to live in society there’s paper work to be done, lines to wait behind, taxes to be paid; fines and penalties to those who mess up. We worry about brand names, titles, and degrees in order to compete. We forget that surviving only takes a little food, water, and heat. I’ve stopped believing that I can live happily in this world around me, so I created my own. It’s a happier place for me. You’re welcome to experience the world that I’ve depicted. I only ask that you leave your worries behind and have fun. Not everything in life is supposed to be serious.
