People have this idea of me being some kind of monster, and that's the complete opposite of who I am.

I did photography, painting, and drawing, but I prefer sculpture. I like it because it's very physical.

I studied art just short of the level where you can earn a degree.

I feel like I'm being put inside a box, and I'm not necessarily getting a chance. Like I'm not getting the shot that I deserve. So that's what Rare is about 'cause I feel because I am the way that I am, and I don't necessarily fit the mold of a lot of different artists that's out, it's like I'm not getting the chance to show what I can do. So, that's basically all the frustration of that, and everything is pretty much Rare for me anyway.

[I] try to do both because the writing for me, to be a new artist, the writing is gonna pay the bills.

[Writing] has helped me meet people.

I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.
