Excerpts from an interview with Funhouse Magazine.

"I love the idea of an image being able to represent what can only be imagined."

"I keep two sketchbooks, a neat one and a messy one. The messy one is where I come up with ideas and whatever crazy things I need to put down. The second is where I do detailed drawings, both personal and for commissions and roughs for future work. This way I feel like I can have stages to the way I work and feel like things get developed."

"Colour is always something I like to start with, for some reason it gives me an idea of what the image is going to look like. Then I think about the theme, context etc.. And look into the main idea for the image. For example with the blood type article, I was looking at old textbooks for inspirations as well as abstract patterns."
