INSPIRATIONS
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable... I have always been inspired by comics, cartoons and graphics. I started drawing at about 4 years old and I have always admired line-work, even in the characters on the cereal box. I think that, as well as my love for working with my hands, has really played a part in how I've come to view artwork, as well as shaping my approach as an artist. Today my biggest inspirations are my children, my kids have the best imaginations and I use that as a constant reminder to just enjoy being able to express myself through my artwork.
