7/13: a happy discovery

I'm working on the artist Hervé Tullet for my final term project, and today I found him on record as saying this:

"You are just someone, and then you have an idea, and you become someone else.  It is magical."

I think even the quotation is magical.  Tullet is not speaking just about himself and having his own ideas; he's talking about the self-transformations he wants to spark in his young readers by getting them to think and be creative with/through/in his books.

I love the concept that every time I have an idea I become a new person.  And it's not only beautiful, it's also true, isn't it?
