1. Where do you get inspiration? Top three things that inspire you?   

I pull inspiration from my everyday experiences with perception. Sometimes I be tweaking, other times it’s intentional. But I’m inspired by the way I perceive things both literally and metaphorically. For example, I’m inspired by textures of random items, reactions of people caused by some normalized stimuli, or like anything that can be experienced differently than how it is traditionally.

2. What tips do you have for networking and such for people just starting out?

Get your own body of work, something solid that you’re content with being recognized for. Then, networking will be a breeze when you have something to show for.

3. Other hobbies or interests? What else would you possibly be doing right in life if you had not followed this path? (this would be a fun way for the audience to know you) 

I enjoy researching different forms of metaphysical phenomena, exploring conspiracy theories, building things out of contemporary items, boxing, and debate. I’d probably be a boxer or defense attorney.

4. The top song on your playlist right now?

Absolutely Going Brazy - Future

5. How do you dress and what do you think it says about you and such? What’s your personal style?

I wear whatever I want/feel like wearing, and I think it is seen as a reflection of my persona; I kind of just do what I want. I know that sounds cliche as hell.

6. Your astrological sign

I’m a cancer.
