Inspiration

I have always loved art and gadgets. I bought my first movie camera (Super-8mm) in 1982, and I had the first personal computer you could get in the USA. I wrote the first video game I ever played. From film to video to animation to photography... I have always loved playing with toys.

Motivation

Like picking up a piece of trash on the sidewalk, and thereby leaving a place more beautiful than I found it, I also try to do this in life. If I can make something awesome, then I am happy and accomplished. If I didn't do anything awesome, then what was the point of being there at all?

Education

I believe you can teach anyone to draw. But being able to draw does not make somebody a good artist. You cannot do what you truly love, unless you truly love something. Discover what you love, then learn how to do it well.


Be who you are. Do what you want. Love as much as you can. Fight everything you fear.

Discover what you love and do that.
If you do something long enough, you will become good at it.
If you become good enough at something, somebody will pay you to do it.
Getting paid to do what you love is the definition of success.
