Whenever I illustrate
anything, I am reminded of how lucky I am still
doing what I have always loved doing ever since
I was a little girl. I feel it is a unique privilege,
not to ever let go of what you enjoy doing,
to occasionally give joy to others, and even make
a living out of it! And I have been at it--my parents
tell me--ever since I could hold a crayon in my right
hand without eating it. When I was eight, I got my
first check for a drawing I sent the children's
TV show "Uncle Bob". It was for ten pesos. I sent
more drawings after that, because I figured I could
easily earn 100 pesos if I sent 9 more drawings.
In a month, I made the first ever 100 pesos I made
in my life. That was probably the first time I realized
I wasn't going to be a doctor when I grew up.
