Q: What is your biggest motivation?
A: My biggest motivation are my little brothers. I am the oldest out of five and I have always been the kind of person to strive and do things out of the norm but still try and better myself at the same time.
Q: How has Montclair State University fostered you as an artist?
A: Montclair’s art program lacks in certain areas, to be totally honest. They did however improve my drawing skills drastically from my freshman year ‘til now. Their drawing courses are rigorous.
Q: Who are your biggest supporters?
A: My biggest supporters are my fans and friends. Even thought I don’t have many fans, the ones that do enjoy my work give me feedback that I appreciate, and my friends who are brutally honest at times help mold me to a better artist.
Q: Who are your biggest inspirations?
A: My biggest inspirations are old school illustrators like J.C. Leyendecker and Milton Glaser whom have a very unique style and very fresh style.
Q: What’s your latest project?
One of Joshua Leclerc’s pieces.
A: My last project which is still ongoing deals with hardships that kids face while growing up in poorer neighborhoods.
