The important thing is that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go. ↗

After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures. ↗

I write the poems first, with only a few exceptions for odd reasons, where I'm given the illustration first. ↗
