Where did you grow up and how has this influenced your art?
Summit, New Jersey. I was tragically the only Goth kid in a very yuppie town during the 90s with no internet. Art, reading and hiding behind trees were the only escapes available.
I spent all of my time reading mythology and folklore and telling myself stories about strange creatures and fantastical places, so of course I had to draw them. Needless to say, people thought I was odd.
What, outside of art, has most influenced your artwork?
