Drawing from art history and mythology allows me to connect with viewers in a familiar, yet loose visual framework. Blending disparate histories and themes can give the overall presentation a recognizable, yet unique flavor.

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.

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.

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