Depending on if my day is more on the technical or conceptual end I bounce between movies and music. The Guest and Drive soundtracks are personal favorites, and when my schedule is more open to distractions I've been cycling through Stanley Kubrick films.

Recently I've been working with two groups of musicians on their visuals. Being on the opposite end of the creative spectrum it's such a refreshing challenge to translate their audio focused talents into a tangible, visual form. Here's a little sneak peek at an in-progress piece.

For sentimental reasons I think my personal favorite falls onto a fantasy turned digital rendition of a GameGirl.

I generally start with words, overheard quips and doodles in a sketchbook. After an idea forms I block out an overall composition, note technical details and materials, followed by a swift dive into a digital canvas.

In the end practice eclipses talent – work hard at what you do and take pride in the little details. Opportunities will naturally follow.
