I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.
Be able to draw an illustration as least well enough to get your point across to another person.
The Nixon years were trying. They honed my judgment for everything I did later on. The experience also illustrated for me the importance of training young lawyers properly.
I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.
I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.
Botticelli would have made a very good fashion photographer. He did eight heads instead of seven heads in a body, which is fashion illustration.
Before that I wanted to be a magazine illustrator - I probably would have painted Gothic scenes.
The film 'Tapped' illustrates quite clearly how we've been getting 'soaked' for years by the bottled water industry.
I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.
I was a big 'MAD Magazine' fan when I was a kid, and I read a lot of horror comics - I illustrated as well.
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
When we do 'Sports Illustrated,' it starts the night before. You do a St. Tropez tan that night, then baby oil gel, then body color.
'Sports Illustrated' does extremely minimal retouching. Other publications, however... phew. They do a lot; I've watched myself be Photoshopped before. It. Is. The. Worst.
I did a shoot for 'Sports Illustrated,' and my grandpa called me and asked when my issue of 'Playboy' was coming out. It was hilarious as well as embarrassing.
I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.
I've always felt that I was a bit of an outsider to the British children's-book illustration scene, because I don't work in line and wash.
My life will be the best illustration of all my work.
The illustrations in picture books are the first paintings most children see, and because of that, they are incredibly important. What we see and share at that age stays with us for life.
Here is the amazing thing about Easter; the Resurrection Sunday for Christians is this, that Christ in the dying moments on the cross gives us the greatest illustration of forgiveness possible.
In any art, you don't know in advance what you want to say - it's revealed to you as you say it. That's the difference between art and illustration.
I wound up studying art and design, got a job at Lonely Planet Publications as a designer, cartographer and illustrator.
