I have my older brother and sister to thank (or blame) for starting me illustrating oh so long ago. Since then, some of my biggest influences have certainly been this guy, these guys, this stuff and this guy, but the list is truly endless. I didn't buy a computer until 1998 (a late-coming by some standards) which makes me relieved to think about - more time spent with ink than pixels. Luckily I had this guy around to show me a thing or two about digital manipulation. Being outdoors and active has always been necessary for my creativity. Somehow cycling and art are synonymous with me. When one goes well so does the other. The same goes for being in the mountains and traveling.
