I don't teach. I don't think I could. I also don't really do anything else artistically, locally.

I had so many ideas that I wanted to get out at once that it led to simple little drawings and paintings.

To me, art and music inform each other continually, and when I was making more music there was an overall aesthetic that was shared by both mediums. Now I always listen to music when I work, so when I am working a lot, that is when I start searching out new music and finding new things to get excited about.

Each painting is its own world, but a lot of times I do see the paintings as one page from a story. You can imagine what has happened before or after. Sometimes they are worded as being a part of a story, especially the paintings where characters are in conversation.

I'm always happy when I see something written on an album that wasn't just typed on a computer.
