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.

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.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

It's hard for me to say what would happen if I didn't go to art school. It wasn't that I learned any specific painting or drafting skills at school that I felt I couldn't have taught myself. However there is something quintessentially unique and important that you gain by immersing yourself in ascholastic and creative universe, and being held to certain academic standards while being surrounded by artists of varying disciplines.

I feel like I've gotten to the point where when I get tired of making art I can make a smooth transition into making music and vice versa. There is always something to do.

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