I’m really not unique in my reasons for being passionate about my creations. They’re an outlet for however I’m feeling and a way to zen out.

I can’t draw or paint for shit. The vision in my head just never makes it to the pencil or brush. But sculpting has always just resonated with me. I can physically manipulate objects that I have imagined in my very odd mind.
Where do you find inspiration?Once again my inspiration is pretty basic. My mom mainly. She was a strong ass bitch who was dealt several cruel and unforgiving cards. But she was still kind, loving, accepting and always forgiving. Her love of nature was pure. She had so many plants that our house was basically a jungle. We grew up in Lake Tahoe, which is no easy feat. So in a nutshell, I create from the influence of a strong and kind woman and the beauty of natural life that would flourish more if humans didn’t suck.
What would you do with $25,000?For the first time in my entire life I would quit my job and allow myself to finally go crazy and create this world I’ve been daydreaming about ever since I can remember. I’ll have my brother manage the funds for me, because I suck at financial management. Like really bad. I went to a show tonight and spent $100 on a vinyl. Some may say it’s an investment because it’s a rare vinyl,honestly I’ll never sell it. So yeah, Tim will manage the money so I can create with no excuses.
