Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

1-Tell me a little bit about your background?\u00a0<\/strong> I grew up in a small town surrounded by corn fields, about 30 miles from Chicago. My upbringing was pretty chaotic. All I ever really did was plan my escape from there. I always knew I wanted to do something creative because I had so many different characters and places I created that were living in my mind, but I didn\u2019t have the guidance or support to really figure it out until much later in life.<\/p>\n

2-Where do you call home?<\/strong>Sweet home Chicago.<\/p>\n

3-Why make art?\u00a0<\/strong> I think that\u2019s pretty similar to asking someone why they breathe. It\u2019s honestly the same thing for me. I couldn\u2019t get through this life without being able to create.
