SQ – What are your sources of inspiration? Anything and everything. There's a huge a world outside of art that can be equally and at times more inspiring than just drawing on a piece of paper or in a computer. I'm a very challenge driven individual and gravitate toward difficult things. In my short life I've been an artist, a boxer, a kendoist, a musician... these are things that have had a profound impact on me as an individual, but they're just titles and not things I want to encapsulate who I am. They are, however, sources that inspire me and exhalt what I love most about the human spirit.

SQ - Which other artists inspire you artistically? I truly admire artists with a sense of humor and humbleness that are absolutely committed to what they love most. Musicians, athletes, comedians, teachers... anyone who treats their passion with respect and an unbridled appreciation for what they do... that kind of inspiration is hard to come by, but it's the type of inspiration I thrive on most.
