Carmine Magazine: What name do you go by for your art?
Meghan Murphy: Meghan Murphy (just my plain old name)
CM: What drives you to create?
MM: I’m not sure if I have a good answer for this. All I know is that I’m cranky when I can’t make something.

Quote

Even at school when I was trying hard to understand the complexities of maths and science (which I do find fascinating), I would spend most the lesson drawing in the backs of my exercise books without really realising I wasn’t concentrating on the lesson at all, but just drawing charactures of people in the class. Then I’d get sent out the room and get detention as apparently history teachers don’t appreciate you drawing pictures of them with punk rocker hair and doing hand stands on trees. — Nikki Pinder, Carmine Magazine Interview
