Q. What artist inspires you the most and why?

A.I don’t have anything that is published mainstream, but I have been apart of indie comics that have been published. The Ring Masters and Pax Serpentice.

Q. Which artist would you love to do a collaboration piece with?

A. At the moment, I would love to do a collaboration with Ashley Woods. Aside from the artists that I get inspiration from today, Ashley is one who I have been a fan of since his work on Spawn and Metal Gear Solid (comics).
