His eclectic, low brow slant to creativity and inspiration is urban, timeless, quirky and sometimes desolate and includes an infatuation with sci-fi cowboys, robots, the unity of human nature and the roots of music. He studied both art and engineering in college and has never managed to keep them separate.
