What’s the most important object in your studio?
My current sketchbook.
Paper or plastic?
Love that paper.
If you could resurrect one no longer living person to have lunch with, knowing you will have to return them to the grave right after coffee, who would it be?
Ghandi. I think he’d go back peacefully.
Preferred method of dealing with an encounter with an acquaintance whose name you can’t remember:
Feign amnesia.
Why don’t you flip the tortoise over, Leon?
They never ask nicely, do they? Manners cost nothing at all, and I am yet to hear a tortoise say ‘please’.
How much wood would a woodchuck chick if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Have you seen a woodchuck? Pathetic little arms. Zero wood.
Favourite client so far?
Another kid at primary school once offered me his bag of lollies to draw the title page for his science project. That was one sweet gig.
Favourite imaginary client?
Acme.
How does your mother describe your profession?
“Artist”…when I’m around, at least!
Coffee or tea?
Definitely tea. Unless there’s coffee.
What’s your earliest drawing memory?
8am at the very earliest.
How do you prefer to spend your mornings?
Out walking with my camera and sketchbook, or getting intimate with my wacom tablet.
