Social media is the new way to communicate, the new way to show your work. You don't have to rely on stuffy, traditional, and conservative methods to be able to display your work.

I consider myself a digital artist, so what I'll do is create everything with technology.

I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.

Growing up, I didn't have a family of creatives. I didn't have knowledge that becoming an artist was an option. I'm not from a wealthy family, and when you come from those circumstances, doing art isn't really an option.

Art is something that everyone should be able to have access to.

I'm not going to work with a company that uses my artwork, which is precious to me, and not allow me to do certain things.

I want to always do things that are very current and pushing the boundaries of the way we create art.
