| How is an idea born? For you, what is inspiration? Doodling or showering. |
| What is art? Anything that someone has created. |
| When do you get your best ideas? When I am in the shower, doodling or travelling. |
| When and how did you begin to see yourself as an artist? When I was 5/6 and I choose drawing over T.V. |
| Why do so many artists and creators have such volatile personalities? I think because we are full of creative ideas and expressions and getting them all out the way you envisaged them can be difficult and frustrating. |
| How should a work of art be evaluated? Do you like it? |
| Must an artist reinvent him/herself everyday? Probably. I would say evolving and constantly learning as an artist is very important. Stretch yourself. |
| Which artists do you admire and how do they influence your work? Joe Sorren, his work is everything I wish mine was. |
| Does it pain you to let go of a piece you have sold? Sometimes but I like the thought of it leaving me and setting off on its own journey. |
| What types of jobs do you usually do? T-shirt design |
| Which of your jobs or tasks do you most enjoy? Getting paid to draw is a dream job. |
| Which websites do you frequently visit? www.emptees.com

| What advice would you give to those just beginning? Get a style all of your own, one people will identify with and instantly know it is yours. Also, if you take a knock get straight back up. I have had many. |
