Art is instinctual to me. It’s as natural as breathing. I create whether I want to or not. Creating is essential to living.

I adore creating strange characters and worlds and trapping their souls inside the pages of my sketchbooks and on Hobby Lobby canvases.
Where do you find inspiration?Much of my inspiration comes from people watching. You really start to see the strong differences and similarities between all people once you’ve studied them for years. I find so many exciting ideas for art that I can bring into existence by watching people and experiencing the world around me.
What would you do with $25,000?Invest it into more ink and paper so that I can keep creating art for as long as possible.
