Can you tell us a little bit about this piece?
I was making a piece for the Evoke art group and the theme was “freestyle”. That’s when I decided to use the word and make it into a piece with meaning to it. There is a lot of symbolism in this one… What do you see? I like how people see different things in my art.
If you were to describe your work to someone who’s never seen it, what would you say?
I don’t really believe in describing my works as I hope that they speak for themselves but some general terms would probably be: surreal, urban, retro, and aggressive.
What’s your creative process when producing a piece of art?
I write down any ideas I have, no matter how stupid they are, and then I start sketching. If the sketches are good enough I scan them and work on them in Illustrator. Photoshop is where I finish everything off, adding lights and details.
Would you share three unique things in your workspace that inspire you?
My workspace is my mind (lost in space actually) and there’s too much going on in there to let you know. It’s kind of scary.
What’s the best compliment/most extreme reaction you’ve ever received in response to your work?
The best compliment is when kids tell me that I inspire them to make art. Also that I’m a rock star… Sorry, I got carried away there. That was just a dream I had…
What’s the art scene like where you live?*
Taking baby steps in my opinion, but it’s getting there.
If your art was music, what would it sound like?
Hip hop or trip hop.
What do you have as your desktop wallpaper?
A new piece of artwork of mine… Not revealed yet. I’m testing it as wallpaper to see how quickly I’ll get fed up with it.
What websites do you check out regularly?
DeviantArt, Behance, DesignYouTrust, DesignByHumans just to name a few.
What are your vices/guilty pleasures?
Street racing.
What’s the first picture you can remember drawing as a child?
I think it was a tree. Well, it didn’t look like one; I guess I’ve been into abstract since then.
If you were a dinosaur, what kind would you be and why?
T-Rex- simply the king.
If you had to change careers, what would be next?
Football.
What’s your motto?
You’re playing my game- I’m not playing yours.
