I am doing very well thank you.

How did you get your start in design?
I went to uni and did a degree in illustration and after graduating I spent some time banging on doors and trying to get work. Eventually some
folk agreed to give me buttons for drawings.

What inspires your work?
Allsorts of things inspire me. Mostly people and situations I observe. Obviously artist have influenced me in a big way. Just a few artists I admire: Tim Burton, Hundertwasser, Junko Mizuno, Joe Sorren, Miss Van,Viner and Lane Smith.

How does it feel to win on Threadless?
I am very pleased. I thought it would take me longer and I have to say the support of the community here really pushes you to succeed. I think threadless is top of the pile when it comes to extracting talent and I am flattered to be amongst such talented artists. In a nutshell: OVER THE MOON!
