I like pandas.

I don’t think there was ever a specific piece of art. But what got me into drawing was two things: Sunday comics in the newspaper, and Saturday morning cartoons.

I LOVED Garfield (serious, no meme), Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County, and The Far Side, and I woke up religiously to catch Ninja Turtles, The Real Ghostbusters, Duck Tales, and god knows whatever else was on. I was also a Nintendo fanboy back then, so I drew a lot of Mario.
