I take myself seriously and want my image to me more than just something aesthetically suited towards selling records.

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.

If what you want to do is make artwork for bands, you have to love doing it because there is almost no money in it. In order to start doing it, you just have to put yourself out there, work for bands you love and for as little as possible to start, if not free, that's what I did for years.

I tend to over extend myself without really thinking throughthe realities of completing so many projects in a year, which generally means I'm going to be a little bit behind. I suppose that's the nature of the beast.

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.

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

I recognize that no matter how old I get, how many records I've done, or what the public perception of me is, there are still exciting things that I haven't done.
