List three big goals to accomplish in the next five to ten years. I’m not a goals kinda person. I’m not really professionally ambitious or money orientated to be honest—I’ve already had more unexpected success than I would actively seek out. I’d like to have a solo show at some point in the future, for the experience more than anything I guess. Professionally, I’d like to think I could find a way to become a full time freelancer or begin my own agency purely so I can go after and create the work that I really want to make.
Where do you see your art headed? I really don’t know. I can’t begin to imagine. I think the only way to find out is to keep making work. It’s a long journey! In the immediate future, I think I’m going to take steps towards developing much leaner work. My pieces take far too long! I’d love to develop a purely digital style that retains the charm/humanity/edge/spontaneity of hand drawn work. It’ll be a challenge, but I have in mind what I think could work. END
Ultimately, my big goal is to continue making stuff so I can raise my boys in an environment that inspires them to create their own paths and to be proud of their uniqueness. So far, the biggest payoff from all the work I’ve made has been to see the effect it’s had on them and how they are totally in love with making stuff themselves.
