Zitat des Tages von Steve Breen:
My favorite caricaturist is Al Hirschfeld. I'm always trying to give my caricatures that streamlined quality - and I often fall short.
Women are more difficult to caricature than men - partly because beauty is more difficult to caricature.
I developed my love for the news because of my love for international news.
For an encore, I might do health-care cartoons using my own blood. That will be my last act.
No one should ever be hurt or killed for saying, writing or drawing anything.
Drawings don't have a point. Cartoons, you want to have an opinion; you want them to express a viewpoint.
When I look at someone's face, there's something in my brain that just clicks - that breaks down their face into the elements that go into a caricature. It might be like the way a chef tastes a dish and can break down into elements what went into it.
It's a fun job, but it's stressful because you have to be funny. You have to have punch lines and captions. Be funny now! And if you're not inspired, they don't care - be funny now! They have to fill that hole the next day.
Comic-Con is incredibly important to San Diego, but that doesn't mean we can't poke a little fun at it!
My dad was an FBI agent. My mom and dad were straight arrow types, and I had a conservative, suburban Orange County upbringing.
As an editorial cartoonist now, I live for those moments of inspiration, and it is exhilarating to be inspired by a topic, have an opinion on the topic, come up with a good cartoon on the topic, and to draw it and get it in the paper the next day. That is what I live for.
Chess is a thinking person's game. But you don't have to be smart to know what's funny! Lots of check, mate!
