"Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can."
"If you want to create something that's worth doing you have to self-edit from the get-go. You really must be careful and selective with whom you work, you must constantly ask yourself the hard questions about your art, and you must set a nearly unattainable standard for yourself."

"Art came fluidly, so I was able to teach myself many of the things I thought were important by copying and mimicking my artistic idols."
"The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression."
"Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can."
"If what you want to do is make artwork for bands, you have to love doing it because there is almost no money in it. In order to start doing it, you just have to put yourself out there, work for bands you love and for as little as possible to start, if not free, that's what I did for years."
"Give your stuff away and if it's good, people will come to you."
