I've been doing these 'Everydays Project' for about 8 years... just trying to learn a bit new everyday. How I come up with the designs, just kind of winging it with these. Not a whole lot of thought, just trying to make some cool shit to look at. I also try to keep it pretty surface ;)

I would describe my style... I think in broad terms, my work has predominantly focused on the tight syncing of audio and video. My inspirations are gmunk, ash thorp, aaron beck, vitaly bulgarov, kidmograph, so many other people... way too many to name.

What advice can you give to your fellow artist / aspiring artist?
Start an everyday project. It will help you get better as quickly as possible. Also, work all the time.
