What initially drew you to drawing pretty pictures
I've had an intense passion for drawing every since I picked up a crayon for the first time! I just never stopped.
Who is your favorite skateboarder, living or dead? Any ties to skateboarding
I don't know a lot about pro skateboarders, though I'm very interested. I started skating when I designed my first deck a few years ago and put wheels on it! I can cruise around pretty well now.
Who is your favorite artist, living or dead?
My favorite artist is Egon Schiele :)
When you're not creating amazing works of art, what do you enjoy doing
I love eating, soaking up sunshine, playing ukulele, biking around and hanging out with my buddies. Taking pictures is pretty fun too!
Who are your biggest influences
Whenever I find a friend that's passionate about creating things, they influence my greatly in a positive way.
What mediums do you enjoy working in?
The mediums I like most are ballpoint pen, watercolor, gouache, and oil paint!
Anything else you want to tell?
I'm so happy I got to work on a skateboard for this show!! I want to paint and design lots more decks in the future, they're so much fun. Thanks!
