What was your experience with being contacted by Tool?
Adam reached out to me proposing to work on their upcoming album. But unfortunately there was too little window to work on it so we decided to collaborate on something else in the future. In a month or so Adam offered me to do some art for the posters. By that time I didn’t know that signed Tool posters are actually the big thing.
What is your music taste/favorite bands?
I listen to everything actually, one track from here one track from there. Haven’t been a big fan of anyone particularly.
What inspires your art and what is your creation process?
Anything can inspire. Music, books, movies, random events on the street. Usually, I have a brief idea of what I want to make, then I start to develop it on the “paper” (photoshop) in form of sketching, and then if I like the sketch I proceed with rendering.
Your most loved piece of art you have created or special work ?
Hard to pick something, I like some, but no favs. I liked how San Diego poster turned out, just like I planned for the rainbow printing…glowing eyes. And I enjoy doing animation a lot.
Do you have other hobbies other than your art?
Gaming. But yeah, nothing interesting really. Recently I started to explore 3d animation.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself ?
I won a local Warcraft 3 tournament when I was a kid.
Where can people look/purchase your work?
I don’t really sell anything, Tool posters only, but they are gone…
