How would you describe your art style?

 It's definitely a combination of everything I am and everything I take in. Things I am exposed to or experience from traveling, music, books, old cartoons, tattoo history, and any "different"  subcultures. 

 What is your typical process when coming up with a new design? Is there a source of inspiration you tend to draw from?

 Whether it be a piece of physical artwork or a tattoo, I usually try to pull out the important information from the client  that will dictate the direction in which I go. What are the most important part(s) and what part(s) do I have wiggle room to input my own voice into their idea? It all starts though with a solid foundation and relying on the simple fundamentals in which I was taught to ensure an impactful piece, and in regards to if its a tattoo, something that can age properly and hold up over time. 

What is your favorite piece you’ve done and why?

 I don't know if I have a favorite piece as much as I have a favorite part. The ultimate end goal is to make sure the people that seek me out are happy with the end result, however I enjoy the process the most. From narrowing down initial  information to gathering reference(s) and researching things to the process of the artwork itself, whether it be quick or slow, each project brings its own hurdles to clear. 

What inspired you to pursue a career in the arts?

 I would have to say it became appealing from a combination of being exposed and encouraged to make artwork young. Discovering alternative/DIY types of music such as punk rock and getting into skateboarding young. All that stuff always seems to go hand and hand together with tattooing, in one way or another. Tattooing has a lot to offer; to the right people. It's one of those subcultures in which the more you give it, the more you get out of it. It's definitely given me opportunities  where I can input my own voice into a lot of things that I am passionate about.
