I grab my inspiration from what I see around me or whatever just happens to pop in my head. Some of my favorite artists include Liz McGrath, Todd Schorr, Joe Coleman and Todd Kennedy. |

| Why
I Got into the Industry: |
|
I had been doing graphics and traditional art on my own and liked the video game industry vibe, as it is rather laid back, fun and creative. |
| Tools
I Can't Live Without: |
|
Foremost a pencil and eraser. I couldn't live without Photoshop. I seem to use it in so many aspects of my art. It is a must for textures, but I also use it when creating more traditional art. When I get stuck on a color scheme for a painting, a lot of times I will scan what I have in progress and play with different colors and designs in Photoshop to get a better idea of which direction to take it. |

| WSwingin' Utters, Pogues, Clash, Ramones, Tom Waits, and Screamin' Jay |
