As a child, I was very shy. I did not like to play with other children and
I was always alone. My parents were worried about me, but I think I was happy that way,
with my pictures and my imagination. I was always making up stories and drawing them.
Maybe that was why I became an illustrator later. I was not interested in school at all, but I
managed to get good marks, and all my teachers were very impressed and said I was
exceptionally smart. I don’t know if they were right, but I did very well in high school and
university later on.

When I was a child ,I remember my cousin and I were so playful ,and because of his
fault I got into a lot of troubles, one day I remember that we jump a fence and I cut my
finger with a glass,this was horrible because I could see my bone ,also I remember that

reason ,another thing I remember,my cousin and I always convinced my parents so that he
could sleep at my house and we play games with his new PSP
