Art (drawing and painting) has always been my greatest passion since I can remember. I basically cannot do without it.

I try to keep it simple and a number 2 pencil is all I need. Be it "Scribble Art" or just drawing cartons a pencil is the best! Since 1st grade I was told by my peers that "I was born with a pencil in my hand". My father was also an architect and civil engineer so we had an abundance of assorted pencils.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in anything. Like a stupid joke or a lopsided horse. There is always something you just have to look around. My greatest inspiration though, comes from music. Not just any music but the kind that ignites the soul and slices the heart. Eno, Dirty Three, Nick Cave, Tortoise, Sun City Girls, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Capt. Beefheart, Mouse on Mars, Aphex Twin, Arvo Part, Nina Simone, Alva Noto, King Crimson, Bowie, Boris, Sleaford Mods, Bob Marley, Neu! and of course, Frank Zappa.
What would you do with $25,000?First of all, pay off my debt. With the rest I'm taking my fiance and mother on a two week Hawaiian cruise, all expenses paid.
