What inspires your work?
Animals - I grew up on a farm and I really like to draw animals in ridiculous situations. I also stare off into space sometimes when I'm bored and I'll have an idea that will become a doodle that will evolve into something.

How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?
AMAZING! I screamed when I found out I won I was so excited!! I've been a big fan of threadless and the work on the site for a long time so it feels really great to really become a part of that community now.

What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?
Probably I'll be boring and put it into savings. Also some will be spent on advertising for my freelance stuff.
