What Inspires Me: Everything. I see things everywhere and everyday that gives me some idea for my pieces. I love to visit flea markets and antique markets. I notice the natural aging of the things around us. Billboard signs, buildings, packages, and aging paper catch my attention.I seek to replicate the rustingand decaying look of the things I see. Music - all kinds. I am working on a slight taste for country. And that doesn't seem to working out. It is much harder than I thought. Other artists - Sabrina Ward Harrison, Rik Catlow, Anja Kroenke, Tim Marrs, Ashley Wood and various Fine and Folk artists. Some local artist that I love- Travis Pack, Ryan Lincicome, Cedric Smith, Julie West, Lance McBride, Demetrious Noble among otheres. Poets and poetry (Saul Williams, Sabrina Ward Harrison). Tons of books and mags. My friends Alot of my paintings come from what I write often in my Journal/Idea books. Alot of times my friends and the people I meet say the most brilliant things and they sometimes never mean them the way I hear them. Lucky me I guess. Literature Neil Gaiman- this dude is brilliant. The Sandman, American Gods, Angels and Visitations

Interests: I love furniture and dreaming up living spaces. Decor stuff. Movies, collecting & listening 2 music. Books (Angels, Aliens, Theology) and Writing. Learning to enjoy the small things about life- like walking in the sand barefoot. Riding my bike around the city. Daily getaways listening to my iPod ( I tend to really visit new places when I do this). Talking and making slid connections with people. Learning about people and their stories. Everybody has them- not everybody has someone that wants to lsiten to them. & DREAMING... Always Dreaming.
