Motivation is a major thing for many artists, and in some cases, it can be attributed to things such as curiosity, the search for beauty, or even meaning.
"I’ve always had a very active imagination. As a child, I would imagine stories and characters in my head and play them out in the solitude of my bedroom. But I was a very quiet and shy kid, so I never publicized these ideas for fear of judgment. But I also didn’t want these stories to just stay in my head, I wanted to see them right in front of me, and the only way for that to happen was to make it myself. So I needed to know how to draw in order to see them. If other people happen to see them and think, 'Pretty cool,' then that’s a nice little bonus as well.
As for my comedy, even though I was typically a very quiet kid, the few times I was comfortable enough to joke around with people, they would usually find me funny and laugh. And I liked that, so I wanted to keep telling people jokes so they’d laugh. Now I draw those jokes."
