with masterminds to create masterpieces.
Your work is so unique and definitely nowhere near the conventional ‘art style’! What
inspires your artworks?
“This question is so difficult to answer, since, really, anything does. Generally, my art is
fairly abstract. I'm not necessarily inspired by a painting/photo/drawing itself, but
rather, how the strokes move or what colours the artist used. It's about looking into the
piece, not at it.”
How did you begin illustrating?
“I began when I was in 7-8th grade. I remember discovering Nick Knight and really
wanting to take photos like that. Since I really wasn't able to, having a sappy little
camera, a white wall, and an iPod, I decided to incorporate a new medium to my
photos. I knew my photos would remain bland if I didn't do anything about it.”
