"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."
"It's hard for me to say what would happen if I didn't go to art school. It wasn't that I learned any specific painting or drafting skills at school that I felt I couldn't have taught myself. However there is something quintessentially unique and important that you gain by immersing yourself in ascholastic and creative universe, and being held to certain academic standards while being surrounded by artists of varying disciplines."

"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."
