Well, if you have seen any of the characters i come up with you may note that I am quite a horror buff (literature and movies)...so alot of my character creations come out of there. But alot of my "other art" comes from things I see in life and want to explore deeper....for example if I run across something of a grotesque nature I keep at the painting till I uncover the beauty behind it. This exploration is largly a spiritual journey for me. I explore the contrasts (good in the evil, beauty in the ugly, dark in the light etc.) Rawnrr
