"One of the benefits I get from doing [book] covers is, I get to read. The main thing I like about what I do is that I'm away from reality and the real world where I live, in a make believe one—a land of someone else's imagination—as long as the project lasts. I need that to survive." (artist)

I sketch with no goal or objective
"I usually don't have a preconceived notion of what I'm going to create. Most of the time I sketch with no goal or objective. My hand will draw something and then it reveals itself to me."
The medium is unforgiving
"The artistic medium of fiction writers—language—is not innately sensual. The medium is unforgiving whenever we look for it in our minds. Some visual artists do a lot of conceptualizing and still end up creating terrific works of art. They are able to do so because once they get out there in front of their canvases or their blocks of granite, they have to leave those ideas behind. The medium itself won't let them think."
