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.

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

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

It's important for me to have different tiers of value for the art. Some of the silk-screens are really affordable, but I do have some high-end silk-screens that are several color layers and a little more expensive, and then I have the paintings that can get way up there.

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.
