1. If you only had 24 hours to live, how would you spend your day?

- I would spend a good portion of it with my mom and end it all by
jumping out a plane nude with no chute

2. Do you think that creativity is part of human nature or is it
something that must be nurtured and learned? Please explain your
answer.

- I think it is something that we are all capable of, some more than
others. However, I truly think that it is something that comes from
experience, because we all have potential, but need to be cued to find
out what it is

3. What impact do you think that commercialism and the media has had on
your work? Is this good or bad?

- None whatsoever. They can both kiss my ass.

4. Are you a fan of cartoons? If so, what is your favorite one?

- F%*k yeah!!!! My favorites are South Park, Drawn Together, and the
Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I don’t know what I would do
without those shows

5. What is playing in your CD player/Ipod right now?

- Danzig 2 (Lucifuge) Danzig never ceases to be a badass

6. What do you wish to accomplish with your art?

- Many things. For instance, I want to excel at and evolve my work
through experience, convey to others my inner most thoughts, and
discover my own thoughts and grow through my work

7. What made you decide to follow a creative career choice (though
possibly risky) rather than something more stable?

- Well to keep it simple, I’d rather live life doing something that I
enjoy rather than settling for anything less.

8. What is your inspiration? How has personal experience influenced your
creativity?

- Industrial Light and Magic, Dreamworks, and many other 3D animation
studios. The realism that has been accomplished within these past few
years is insane and has interested me above anything else

Do you think that creativity is part of human nature or is it something that must be nurtured and learned? Please explain your answer.

I think that we are all equally capable of being creative. However, I do believe that some people have a natural predisposition, while others may need to work at discovering their creative talents

What made you decide to follow a creative career choice (though possibly risky) rather than something more stable?

Seeing as that website design is a valuable skill, I wouldn’t say that my career choice was too risky, so it was an easy choice to make. I’m just lucky to do what I love and get paid generously for it.

What is your inspiration? How has personal experience influenced your creativity?

Although I’m a web designer, I’d have to say that many inspirations of mine Ancient Japanese painters such as Tawaraya Sotatsu, Kano Motonobu, Maruyama Okyo, and many more. I love the Japanese aesthetic.

If you had to be any of these things, which would you like to be?
a) a member of the opposite sex, b) a clock, c) a pair of shoes, d) a duck. Please explain your choice.
