What got you started in art?
I've created art work since before I can remember. I've always had this innate need to create and build. whether it was legos and play dough or a pain brush and canvas, I was always experimenting and tinkering. Only when I entered high school and college did I realize and try to understand this weird and challenging passion I had.
What inspires you as an artist to be creative?
As cliche as it is, you can find inspiration virtually anywhere. I am inspired by other people's passion, live music, beautiful and captivating art work or a compelling and thought provoking movie, eating a kick ass burrito; anything that gets your blood pumping. Recently, I've used creating art work as a means of exploration more than a means of creation or expression. Taking a question as vague as what is graphic design? Or what is a gift? And letting the exploration and process dictate the art work and medium rather than just creating art for arts sake.
What are some of your achievements?
I honestly am unsure of what my achievements are in terms of being an artist. I suppose to make a living would be nice. My ambitions at the moment are simple.
How long have you been doing your art work?
I've been doodling since I was six but I only really consider the work I've done recently to have been decent hah.
Where do you see your self going in five years?
I have no idea where im going to be on wednesday let a lone in five years and that doesn't really bother me. Anywhere but retail.
Something you've always wanted to do, but have yet to?
It might take a while to get here.. but I really want to own a live venue (for rock shows) in Japan.
Favorite quote or quotes?
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
- Dr. Seuss
The moment you realized you were an artist?
When I had to decide on whether I had to spend the last of my money on food for that day or to buy plates to finish a print. . . I chose the plates.
