"Drawing is easily the most basic of the artistic activities I'm involved in, and film is easily the most complex: personality-wise, technically, there's a lot going on; it never stops. Books are a much simpler porcess, but they still have many levels."

An image, on the other hand, can be made on a page within ten seconds if you so choose, and occasionally when I'm illustrating, when I'm doing a book signing, when I'm doing a sketch, I am producing something in ten or twenty seconds. And that is the item. That is the finished item...Its lovely to be able to go home and produce within a couple of hours a handful of drawings which mabye only I'll see, but which at least are finished, and of themselves. -Clive Barker, from Illustrator II
