What is your favorite type of art to create?

I started out doing cartooning, heavily inspired by old Dick Tracy stripping. Then dabbled in filmmaking and abstract drawing at the San Francisco Art Institute long before it closed down. Then I tried collage making, and then painting.

Where do you find inspiration?

In everyday life. In listening to my favorite punk & rock bands. In my own vast imagination.

What would you do with $25,000?

Probably get enrolled at the L.A. Film School to pursue cel animation & short 16mm black & white films. And buy a car to get to the School campus from Long Beach where I live.
