1. I am inspired by the past and present world: Living humans, dead humans, music, nature, animals, gadgets, pop culture, food.

 

2. I cannot be complacent. The world is always changing, evolving. I should be too. Stay relevant. Adapt.

 

3. There is a solution to every problem, and creativity is the key. Dig deep. 

 

4. Experiment. Have fun. Get dirty. Dance.

 

5. I learn from my mistakes. The result is better art. Better materials, better compositions, better stories.

 

6. Everything has a story. I tell mine through layers of canvas, wood, paint, pixels, ink and paper. I can help you tell yours.
