Who are you most inspired by?

Tim Burton and Charlie Chaplin. They are both Creative Geniuses.

2

What do you want to most convey in your work?

Hmmm I am not sure to be honest…. I do however, want people to enjoy what they see, I want people to feel good from observing my work.

3

When did you first realize you are an artist?

Since I was in the Womb. No Joke…. But really, my mom caught me drawing on everything from vacuum cleaners, to bedsheets. (I wanted Minnie Mouse bedsheets and they did not make them so I took matters into my own hands and created my own).

4

Why do you choose the subject matter you work with?

I create whatever I am interested in at the moment.

5

Where do you go when your well of inspiration is running low?

I browse through other artists websites, or I watch movies and movie trailers, those always seem to get my creative juices flowing. :-)

6asked by michael anthony lynch

What is your greatest artistic weakness?

I think my main weakness is that I have too many ideas and when this happens I don’t know which one to choose!

7

How would your life change if you were no longer allowed to create art?

Well, my life would def. Change… I would be very unhappy… although I am wondering how I wouldn’t be allowed to create in the first place…..

What/who gave you the extra push to “go public” with your work?

Me, I knew it was time to get out there!

10asked by alex sheehan

Do you make a choice and then justify it? Or do you visualize something and then create it?

I visualize something then create like crazy! I try not to think too hard. once I have a good idea, I notice that thinking too hard can tend to ruin creativity.

11

What ways do you find your life influences your work?

I find them from time to time, I try not to have to much personal meaning in my art, though if I am really effected by something, it tends to expose itself unconsciously in my work.

12asked by david geisler

How do you know when you are finished with a work?

hmmm good question most times I jump to the next project.
