/>Who and/or what are some of your influences?

Music
first and foremost, almost everything I do is a direct result of what I’m
listening to when I make it.  My girlfriend was a major muse, but she bounced to
Australia so I’ve been looking at myself a lot lately.  Definitely LODOWN, that
got me thinking outside the box when I was stuck in a seriously stifling
communication design program up at school…Japanese prints, big ups to Hokusai. 
Big cities, construction sites, Rodchenko, and nature.

DJ Shadow,
Kinsey, The people at Buro Destruct (their use of color is beyond real),
Kubrick, 123 klan, David Ellis, Futura, Fairey, Too many to name
