Something from my own interests that inspires my art would have to be music and people. With music, it invokes certain feelings when I sketch and helps set the tone for whatever I draw. People also inspires my art because of the stories they share with me. I tend to draw people or environments based on the cool stories people shares with me.

The place where I’m from, The Bronx, influenced my art. Everything from the people, the art and even the culture here all play a huge role in what I create. From seeing the graffiti plastered all over the walls to the people with their stories, my work derives from that.

Something personal that inspires my art would have to be graphic design. I say that because I tend to bring in some principles and rulesets of design into my work. In a way, that’s what helps differentiates me from other artists as I continue to experiment with different things around me.
