If you weren't creating art what would you be doing?
"Beating my head against the wall."

Who are your artistic icons?
"Daniel Johnston, Mark Gonzales, Raymond Pettibon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. They are all self-taught, rough around the edges, and real."

On the flipside, what about style icons — do you have any?
"Kurt Cobain and Bobo, the guy on Mission Street that kicks cans into the trash."
