/>Age: 22
Hometown: Seattle, Washington

Where do you now live?: Phoenix, Arizona
/>Where would you most like to live?:  Thats a tough one. I
still have a bunch of places to look into.  But my favorite place so far is a
small town in Belgium called Brugge. Either that or Antwerp.
Who
was your first “hero” in life?:
  I have this weird kind of admiration
for Jean Reno. You know, the guy from the professional.  Either that or
Christopher Walkin.
What is your favorite thing to do on your day
off from work?:
Sit around on my porch and sketch.
What
is your favorite color?:
Pistachio or Terracotta
Who (or
what) do you love?:
  I have an impressive collection of photographs
from random thrift stores. I get whatever I can. Old family albums from the
seventies or vintage photographs from the twenties.  I also have a collection of
metal signs and circuit boards. Go figure.

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

/>Im really into Art Nouveau & Art Decco. Alphonse Mucha is probably my
biggest inspiration. I also find alot of inspiration from Japanese animation and
Comics Books. Im really into this comic artist Joshua Middleton right now. He’s
pretty great.  As far as Graffiti influences there are too many to name.


What other artists do you most admire?  

/>There is so much talent out there.  But above all it would have to be
my other half Mac. Mostly because I see on a daily basis just how hard he
works.  I have never met anyone who is such a perfectionist. I can easily
respect that.


How would you describe your art to
someone who could not see it?


Sullen women with serious
hair. Pastel colors wrapped in strong lines
.

What other
talent would most like to have?


Ive always been
inspired by photography. I wouldnt mind going in that direction in the future. 
Oil painting has always sparked my interst as well. Its just so classy.


What do you fear the most?

I
have a small fear of heights. But other than that, Probably things I cant see.
Spiders in your sleeping bag and what not.


What is your
greatest ambition?


I have alot to be thankful for. But
Id like to be completely self sufficient one day. My goal in the long run is to
own my own business or at leat become my own boss. Over all though I am just
trying to be the best artist I can be. Whether its working on my Illustration,
Fine art, Graffiti or just getting my ideas out there
.
