For me there is nothing more natural than connection of words and drawings. In my head words have shape, color and face. The written word is the first thing that starts each visual concept: Book, a poem, a solitary word, single letters, those are the seeds which will grow illustration. Each sketch work begins with a list, verbal description of what later would be painting.
Even the casual scribble on a stack of pages in a phone call (not to mention customer service fatiguing waiting) starts with number, letter, and word. At the end everything will be buried in tangle of lines and dots - cats run on paper, people, houses, and cars made up of what was once an address and phone number.
