Though institutionalization in art and design is a necessary evil - all of my inspirations have come from sources that have a way of going against and challenging established traditions. My work is a combination works of different subject matter and influences and is meant to showcase irreverence, energy and attitude. That combined with my interest in contemporary culture and political science. Inspiration is also drawn heavily from the social cultures of hip-hop, goth & glam/punk - rock, all which are fueled by (but not limited to) mockery, shamelessness, inventiveness and audacity.
