"I have always wanted to be a children's book illustrator. Ilon Wikland was, is, and always will be my absolute favorite! Drawing for children is extremely fun. I get to sit and draw figures, details and patterns, sketch funny expressions, and fill in lots of color, which I love. Browsing through one's own children's book together with children is the ultimate edgy test, they see every millimeter, and their words and thoughts afterwards are wonderful. Love it!"
