Age, location, education?

30, Dallas, TX USA, Degree in Graphic Design.

How long have u been living there?

Been living in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area all my life.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Anything really, Comic books, cartoons, movies, music, or any objects I might have a fixation on at the time. Right now I'm fixated on 3D glasses for some reason.

What's your favourite color?

I like neon green, neon pink and black right now.

When are you the most productive?

Like most artists probably are, I'm a night owl. 10pm-2am usually.

Where is your favourite vacation-spot?

I don't get to vacation as much as I would like to. But the beaches of sunny California are always nice.

What kind of music do you like?

Just about anything to be honest. MF DOOM, Daft Punk, The Mars Volta, Aesop Rock, Project Blowed, Johnny Cash, Sonny Rollins to name a few.

Any exhibitions planned this year?

Showed earlier this year in Belfast, Ireland as well as Sacramento, California. Couple group shows coming up in the Dallas area. Next one being at F6 Gallery on Sept. 27th. The show is called "Heavy Hitters".

What is your favourite material to work on?

Wood if I can get my hands on it. But I paint more often on canvas than anything else. I'm really stuck on 8"x10"'s and 18"x24"'s right now.

What are your tools? (special pens, colors etc.)

It's a secret....never teach the Wu-Tang. Haha, no I use Grumbacher oils and brushes, Liquitex acrylics, Montana and Belton spray paints, paint markers and anything else I can find. I use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop when I design on the computer.
