Describe your style:

What are your creative influences?
Japanese art and Todd Schorr who is my great idol.

It was when I received a ribbon for “Best in Arts.”

A shark and a mouse that my dad drew and wanted me to copy perfectly. I was only five years old at that time. I thought, “How am I supposed to do that!?”
What was your first job?
A graphic artist for a pizza restaurant.
Could you share an image of one of your latest sketches?
Sure.
What’s the most unusual thing that’s ever inspired a piece of your art?
An old lady living three blocks away from our house. She reminds me of Tweedy bird’s granny.
What things have you seen recently that are going to inspire a piece of art?

The door in my room, but I was not able to finish it.

My Japanese wood carved dolls, a Venom action figure, and my cup.

Spider webs… I consider it art.

Progressive and techno music? Haha!
What music is rotating on your iPod?
I don’t have one, but I love all types of music because I’m a musician.
What websites do you check out regularly?
Facebook, Juxtapoz, Infectious, Myspace, and Youtube.

My height. Haha!

Just go! Go! Go! Nobody can stop you!

I’d become a 3D animator. That’s my greatest goal!
