I started making animations solely because of constraints - I had no equipment to make a live action film, and I had nobody to work with. With animation, all you need is yourself and a computer. I started making these because it was fun, but people actually seemed to like them and I kept going. I never watched cartoons as a kid and grew up without a TV. The only inspiration I take is from everyday absurd encounters I have in real life.

I just like to paint. I don't take myself to seriously and I'm pretty pop. I really like the colors red, yellow, and blue. You can do a whole lot with them.

God, I'd love to make more live-actions, but I've never found anyone who'd make them with me, and have always had a whole lot of trouble asking people for things. Luckily, the art collective I'm a part of  (Sideworld) is gonna make a lot more films very soon. Glad I found some people who want to make things as much as I do.

I made most of these because my friend moved to Mexico and gave me all his nice Copic brand markers. I go through phases of drawing, it's nice to switch up your primary art-making medium.

I've always had the urge to document things. I first bought a camera when I was living in Taipei when I was 21 and got stuck in Vietnam after my visa expired. I rented a cheap motorcycle and drove around the country. Everything was so beautiful that I bought a camera. After I went back to America, I began to take concert photography. I know how important the music scene is and have been extremely involved in music my entire life. I began taking these photos to document these bands, and edited them to turn them into art pieces.
