When I was in high school, everyone used to tell me that I should write and illustrate children’s books. Or mostly illustrate, because I guess there was something about my style that made people think it’d work in children’s literature. I didn’t really know anything about it, and like many people who don’t, I didn’t think it was a serious art form.
Brian Selznick Quotes
I think the most important thing you can do is to keep drawing no matter what. And to not be afraid of drawing whatever interests you. If there is something that you want to draw, to make, then I think you should pursue it and not let anybody tell you that you can't do it.
