Why did you choose to pair Transportation Alternatives with your print?
Transportation Alternatives works tirelessly to make my city easier and safer to ride in, and for that I'm especially grateful.
How have you seen art transform the world around you?
Any wall in the city is constantly being re-covered with art and ads and graffiti and buffs. I find this kind of shifting environment inspiring.
If you could pick one artist to mentor you (dead or alive), who would it be and why?
Ernst Haeckel. His dedication to detail and beauty was matched by a commitment to science and exploration.
Who are some artists you think that other people should know about?
Aaron Storck, Cody Hudson, Cal Lane are a few of my favorites working today.
