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

It's my intention to make something stand outside the realm of album art, but it also feels comfortable to me to be in it. It's tricky and definitely a requires striking a delicate balance.

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

When I was really young, I gravitated towards the visual arts first. I feel that's what comes most naturally to me. I've always had an immediate proclivity towards making visual art and I was a really tactile kid.

In fact, many musicians are the happiest when the artist and audience re-interpret or re-imagine the content of the songs.

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.

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.
