"I found a book in a Paris bookstore called A Bright Idea. It was a blank book of lightbulb silhouettes designed for doodles, lists, etc. I thought the lightbulb shapes would make interesting faces and figures. Improvising without references,I obsessively drew all the characters with black pens over the yellow shapes. Once I started drawing in it, I couldn't put it down. I finished it on the plane back to New York." -dd
