Interview by Charlie Festa

Hello there, and how are you doing today?
Sunny skies with 100% chance of getting my threadless design printed!!!! So, I'm just perfect thank you very much.

How did you get your start in design?
From what I can recall, my breakthrough piece was as a 4 year old with a painting including a family of ducks, some clouds, and what looked to me like some waves - which still hangs proudly in my grandparents bedroom.

What inspires your work?
What doesn't? There's inspiration to be found in any situation. I think sparking it just depends on whether or not I'm in the mood to be motivated.

How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?
Like getting paid for having a good time. AMAZING.

What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?
As much as I would like to spend it on myself, I'll probably end up buying some baby gear. My wife recently gave birth to two amazing twin girls who seem to be sucking my life away right along with whatever is in their bottles. So far so good.
