• Carol Burnett probably had the biggest influence on me as kid.

I loved her most as Scarlett O'Hara and her well known Cleaning Lady character.

• Every morning I'd have coffee with my wife and we would discuss ideas. Sixty percent of what I did for the stores was concepts. The other forty percent was correcting and cleaning up other concepts in house, or doing final art on my concepts. Most of my concepts were so finished they could turn them over to somebody else.
