book world able
Ben wished the world was organized by the Dewey decimal system. That way you'd be able to find whatever you were looking for.
thinking drawing pages
I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head.
looks stories
You can make up your own story when you look at a photo.
mean numbers machines
I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too.
cabinets wonder
Maybe we are all cabinets of wonders.
For most of my career I illustrated books for other people.
