How did you get into art?
At first I did photography, but I really wanted to go unrealistic and out of limits. Then I got my hands to Photoshop...
How do you get inspiration for the pieces you produce?
Usually I get them from music, movies or life itself. Or then from other artists.
What has been your best creation to date?
I seriously don't know... Every new piece feels like my best one when its fresh.. But I don't know.
Last CD you bought/downloaded/shoplifted?
Hmm... Might be Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
How did you feel when you realised that art could make you some money?
I felt really happy. It's very rare that you can make your living by doing something you love. But I don't still do this because of the money, I do this because I love it. If I get paid, thats a plus..
Why do so many people spend money on music yet so few buy art?
Hard one. I dont know, maybe the visual experience is bit different. When you look at art, you can't really do other things at the same time. But when you play CDs in the background you can drive, cook, make art or do other things at the same time.
How is your local art scene?
Bad...
What make you happy?
My girlfriend, my friends and my great family.
What makes you sad?
Stress, studying things I don't want to study, sad people.
Sex, drugs or rock n roll?
Rock n sex!
Last book you read?
Engineering Mathematics.
What's your favourite soup?
Haha dont know.. I dont really eat soup that much.
Tell us a secret?
I'm busy at the moment.
Quote us your favourite song lyric?
"How can we win, when fools can be kings"
Matt Bellamy
Is there a downside to being so talented?
Am I really that talented? Maybe the downside is that you dont wanna let people down when you make something new.
Ask yourself (and answer) a question?
Why the hell did you stop playing ice hockey?
Because i'm so damn lazy... : (
What's your worst habit?
Hmm... I dont know. I got lots of them, wanna buy some?
Any close encounters with the law?
Nope.
What else do you like other than art?
Music and ice hockey.
Any regrets?
Some, I bet everyone has.
