Mercer Meyer

There are only six original stories in the universe, everything else is take-off. I even take off my own stuff. That's how these stories come about. Thoughts of my childhood. The stories come alive when I doodle. I'll doodle for a week and then, all of a sudden, the story is there. I've always been a vintage guy. As a kid my favorites artists were Rembrandt and Arthur Rackham. Those were my influences.
