When creating a new piece of work, what process do you go through (sketches, research, etc.)? I start with an image in my mind then draft a rough sketch in pencil. After which I refine the idea and use illustrator to resize and adjust as needed. Once I have the outlines set I head to the shop to begin the fabrication process. Generally engraving is the last step in my process. Where do you go for inspiration? Are there particular artists that inspire you? Oh man I feel like I glean inspiration for a multitude of areas. I love to travel and infuse my work with hints of other cultures. Think geometrics from Moroccan rugs and intricate vine work from cathedrals. I love looking outside the “normal” areas of inspiration, I believe this encourages creativity and challenge.

How do you market and sell your work? I sell all my items on my website and usually attend one show a year in person. I use Instagram and Facebook to market my items. I try to keep it pretty simple by capturing images of my work in my shop or showing aspects of my life in the middle of nowhere.
