From a young age, Katzenstein loved to draw and create comics. His parents were really supportive and excited about his passion. They signed him up for art classes, got him drawing books, and most importantly, always told him that being an illustrator or a comic book artist could be his job. Looking back, he realizes how much he took that encouragement for granted.

Talking about inspiration, Katzenstein likes to see his creative process as more of an inspiration rather than just coming up with ideas. It's like he's discovering them rather than inventing them. Each cartoon involves a dance between the common associations everyone has and the unique voice of the cartoonist.

To start, the artist looks at what's true for him in that week or what's going on in the world. Then, he tries to connect his personal experience to things everyone can relate to.

The renowned Warner Bros animator, Chuck Jones, once remarked, “Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.” This sentiment resonates deeply with Katzenstein every time he sits down to draw. According to the artist, mistakes and mess-ups aren't a waste of time. He sees them as necessary steps to making artwork he can be proud of.
