I really try towork with an artist who is trying to create a long legacy of quality rather than trying to jump aboard a trend.

It can be difficult to mediate a compromise between what I have in my head and what the musician has in mind, which is often 180° different when it comes to the finished product, so it requires that element of trust from somewhere. The point I make to them is "You've seen what I do, so just trust me and we will come up with something exciting."

Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

Punk rock and metal has always been a home to me, it's where I cut my teeth; and those are the friends that I have, and the bands that I love.

Give your stuff away and if it's good, people will come to you.
