This visualization process in my head.

A few words about your favourite work, if you have one?

It would be hard to choose just one… but my newest inspiration is Danny Elfman’s musical score for the Cirque Du Soleil’s Iris circus play. When you listen to it you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Georges Melies, Goya, Frederico Fellini, Peter Paul Rubens, Gottfried Helnwein, Itzhak Perman, Wolfgang Amadeus, Philip Glass, Leonard Cohen, Michelangelo, Forty Point, Paul Kwitek, Jeff Buckley, Stars of the Lid, Natalie Kawai, Baz Luhrmann, Jack White, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Luc Godard, Steve Jobs, The Rolling Stones, Massive Attack, U2 and more

What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?

Getting lost in it and forgetting everything else.

Any new project coming up, you want to tell us about?

A video projection (with portions shot in a fish tank) for the European concert tour of Paul Kwitek. And my “Reckless Unbound” collection will open in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco later this year.

Griffith Park, Cirque Du Soleil at the Kodak Theatre, The Edison, Ace Gallery, Merry Karnowski Gallery, Hollywood Reservoir, Franklin Canyon and Lake.
