What is your creative mission? To make the most accurate costumes possible. Also to make the extra special garment for someone. What do you love about what you do? The end result. What have you learned from your successes/ failures? How to do it better or different. When something goes wrong (as it will sometimes) I [...]
Do you even know how cool you are? Do you? Seriously. I don’t know you, but I do know one thing— I know that every single human who has ever walked on this planet has value. And that’s cool. Whether we know it and express it, is the real question. Your cool may be a shining [...]
I’m a goal oriented guy. I like to do things for some kind of reason. To be productive. To move forward in a project. When I’m not resting or hanging out with the people I love, I’m probably in this mode. I was super psyched when my good pal suggested that we cruise around [...]
U2 has been one of my favorite bands for very long time. Back in Jr. High when I was learning guitar I played Sunday Bloody Sunday over and over and over again until I channeled the Edge into the six strings of my crappy K Mart electric axe. In the years since I’ve watched tons [...]
What is your creative mission? To live fully curious without limitations, and to fall in love everyday with something small, something new. What do you love about what you do? I love that I can find my own silence if only I let myself. I love that I understand the importance of solitude because it [...]
Every day, every hour, the clock ticks. And whether we like it or not, every breath takes us closer to our deaths. Harsh, I know. But true. Don’t freak out. I have a point. Since we will not live forever (at least in [...]
I’ve always wanted to play drums ever since I can remember. But it never really happened. Yes, I constantly tap out beats on the steering wheel and table top. When I’ve played with bands I’ve begged the drummer to give me a shot at the skins. But mostly I’ve programmed beats. Hundreds of them. Maybe thousands. It’s seriously [...]
I’m not a travel agent. I don’t care which airline you fly. But please, do yourself a major favor and buy yourself a f*ing ticket to California. This is a metaphor. Of course. California represents gold, dreams, possibility. Buying a ticket is a commitment to going somewhere. Make a commitment to your dreams, your [...]
To say that I was a madman, die hard, full-on Styx fan would be an understatement. In junior high I glued all of my Styx albums to the wall (much to my mom’s dismay). I cranked albums like Paradise Theater, The Grand Illusion and Crystal Ball at top volume (also to my mom’s dismay). I even made it from the far [...]
What is your creative mission? To express the way I feel, hoping that I could move feelings in someone else. What do you love about what you do? Having the right melody for the aching, cheerful or hopeful words. What have you learned from your successes/ failures? Time is a precious thing. When you've succeeded, you can [...]
