Mainichi Weekly interview article

Last month I sat down with the lovely Yoshina Watanabe for a little interview about me and my work. Yoshina is a New York City based journalist who writes a monthly column about NY artists for the Japanese newspaper, Mainichi Weekly. Below is the scanned article (which you can click on if you'd like to read) that hit newsstands a couple of weeks ago in Tokyo, Japan. Thanks so much, Yoshina!

Her illustrations are full of warmth and a sense of wonder, and they invite us to step into the world of stories.

Can't say it better than that.

Congratulations!

You're big in Japan! As you deserve to be. Very nice piece. And I loved the idea and image of you drawing from paused Disney movies. But photo-realism! I had no idea!

Ha, hardly big Brian! And yes, I "attempted" photo-realism -- If I can get my hands on some old work, I'll scan and show you! Thanks for reading it :)

Thanks to you, too, Julia!
