I'm painting so much that I don't listen to much music. Because music is another creative outlet, it's a huge distraction for me when I paint.

Visually through my work, over and over, I'm trying to create characters that are - to some people they may be monstrous, and I hate that word, because I think they're just unique. Misfits. I purposefully want to present something a little different so that whether people are disturbed by it or not, they can wrestle with it.
