Art makes better humans, art is necessary in understanding the world and art makes people happy. Undeniably, art is not optional.

One of the reasons I love using LEGO bricks is because it makes the art very relatable and accessible folks can connect with the art almost on a different level because they have played with it or their kids have played with it.

LEGO is universal. So many people enjoy it, from all different walks of life, all different ages, all different cultures. When I was in Africa, I had LEGO bricks with me and I met some people who had never heard of LEGO, they had never seen it before and yet as soon as I gave them a few bricks, they immediately got it.

Inspiration is tough to define, it comes from so many different places. I have multiple exhibitions touring the globe, so I do travel quite a bit and travel is a great way to find inspiration.

I'm trying to inspire as many people as I can. I want the viewer to enjoy the art and I want the whole family to have something to react to. I hope that folks go home and do a bit of doodling and creating on their own.

The fact that you can take LEGO bricks from thirty years ago and they still snap together with the same new LEGO brick that comes out, I mean what type of product can span generations like that, there is something really special to it.

I have realised that my worst day as an artist is still better than my best day as a lawyer.
