Where do you like to work?

Edmonton, Alberta Where are you from? Niagara-on-the-lake, Ontario What is your current occupation? Amateur artist / Elijah Wood look-a-like Do you have any training or formal education in the field of art you work in, or are you self taught?
What is one of your earliest memories of making art? I can remember being in kindergarten making mixed media pictures using various items that the teacher had brought in. Noodles, construction paper, pipe cleaners, etc. One of those items was a big box of Honeycomb cereal. I didn’t have the sugary cereal at home. It was Cheerios at best. I decided to make my piece entirely out of Honeycomb. But really I just sneakily ate it all and drew a dinosaur instead. To this day my pieces are 90% Honeycomb cereal that doesn’t make it onto the final product.
I do not. However I’ve googled a few things. What people, books, films, (etc…) inspire you the most? Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Linklater, Kaws, John Steinbeck, Faile, Huck Gee, Wes Anderson, Greg Simkins, Espo, Banksy, Bill Murray. What materials do you like to work with? I like Cel-vinyl on canvas. It gives nice crisp opaque colours. What pieces, projects, or collaborations are you currently working on? More designer vinyl pieces at the moment, as well as a new series of canvases.
