Yeah. If I were to look back at some of my early influences, I would really include mostly my father. He was a draftsman and, from what I heard, an engineer, but that happened long before I was born. And he would always like renovating the house.
And the drawing is really the superstar of his illustrations. And I consider myself more of a draftsman than a painter. So when I see people that can do illustration work like that, it really inspires me.

ways to apply them outside of what they're originally intended for." So as far as I'm concerned, I still get to apply myself the way I grew up applying. My goal has always been able to be a draftsman that's able to articulate the world around him. That's never stopped being my goal. Even now, it's still my goal. And even though I'm seen as a painter, in my mind, I'm still a draftsman . And that's all I really long to be.
