How did you learn to draw so realistically? did you take art classes or are you just that good naturally. I know you do this sort of thing professionally (graphic art right?) but I was just curious if it took you a long time to get this good or were you just born with the gift?

Yes, I'm a graphic designer, that's what I went to college for, but as far as my fine art goes, I've been drawing since I was 3 and drew my first realistic art at 5, so some of it is just in the genes BUT I practice every single day; I believe anyone can become really good if they just practice practice practice! I draw a sketch every day; I have tons of sketch books just filled with little silly things, I really think it helps.

aha this amuses me, partially because "THE PIANO HAS BEEN DRINKING, NOT MEEEEEEEEE!"
If you don't know who Tom Waits is download that song because "THE OWNER IS A MENTAL MIDGET WITH THE IQ OF A FENCEPOST BECAUSE THE PIANO HAS BEEN DRINKING AND YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAITRESS WITH THE GEIGER COUNTER"
But yeah, I'm at Uni, whatchuup2?

He writes such strange music that guy, I think he would've been at home in a 30's swing and jazz bar. He's kind of the musician people like everytime they hear him, but sort of have no idea who is singing.
