What inspires your illustration and art work?
Somehow in this urban thicket we came together for a few collaborations... and we've been banging shit out ever since. Just trying to do our own thing...leave our mark... John Denver style...even if that meant being broke and living in a pop-up tent at the foot of Mt Major...with a T1 connection and a potato-vodka distillery to keep us hectic.

What inspires your illustration and art work?
My art work is inspired by everything. Whether I like it or not, everything I have ever seen or done influences whatever I make or do in the present and future.
My art work has developed to where it is now from an addiction. Ever since I was young I always had to create something, not necessarily painting or art (which I did a lot), but the act of creation it self. Whether art, design, or anything else, I will always be creating something. I have to.

What inspires your artwork?
I see everything. It swoops down and assaults my senses, pecks at the eyelids -- Every homeless person rotting in the street. Every piece of garbage. Every glance and rhythm. Every form hurrying through the city's maze. Every sparkle on the pavement, every reflection, every hovering cloud. Magnified, intensified, mesmerized. I have the head of a thousand-eyed insect.

What inspires your art work?
I'm inspired? It's probably not fashionable, but I like television. There's just so much stuff coming out of it. If your brain is in art mode, it's a really rich source of material. I guess nostalgia for my childhood is inspiration. I think American culture in the 80's had more going for it than the culture than we have today. Less irony, more hair metal. Those guys really meant it.
