Hello, First of all just want to say how I really really like your work, as a sort-of aspiring illustrator, your work is a really great inspiration so thank you !! Also I actually have one very simple question: do you like the Monty Python if so how does it influence your work?
Everyone is influenced by Monty Python, yes? Probably. I only had two television channels growing up, but I remember in grade six, CBC started playing Monty Python late at night sometimes. And there was one other kid in my class who started watching it too, and we had never seen anything like it, or heard of it before. I remember coming to school the next day and making a beeline for him to talk about the funny things we saw. “The funniest joke in the world” - that was the one that was the best one. Still!
In grade 12 the teacher let us put on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” as a school play, and I was the director. It was a complete mess. It was probably illegal? We had a great time.
