Pol Cosmo demeans himself by saying that he is not a good illustrator; in fact, he draws wonderful insects that pop up everywhere in the city. 

“In school, we had to draw these boring objects like apples, a glass, grapes, … and I wasn't any good at it.  So, I came to the conclusion I could better quit drawing, even though I liked it.  It took me more than 15 years to realize there is more to illustrating than being able to make an image that resembles the reality as closely as possible”, he said on his website.
