Personal Quote:

The art of cartooning is vulgarity. The only reason for cartooning to exist is to be on the edge. If you only take apart what they allow you to take apart, you're Disney. Cartooning is a low-class, for-the-public art, just like graffiti art and rap music. Vulgar but believable, that's the line I kept walking. See more »

Trivia:

Greatly dislikes and is very critical of Don Bluth's films. See more »

Often blends animation with brief live-action backgrounds See more »
