I wanted to go to the root of my childhood on this one and bring out the 90's and how that time and it's treasures inspired me...

A. Ever since Kindergarten, I was fascinated by art and creations I've never dreamed of, so I took up drawing.

B. There was a time the family and I went to places in our van, we saw forests, mountains, oceans, We even visited Mt. St. Helens once.

C. Imagination isn't spiked until you hear stories of the impossible and unusual. In fact, Fairy Tails were the starting points of my artistic days.

D. Superman was the first superhero I ever knew, and I learned about him through cassette tapes, I even learned about Lois, Luthor, Bizarro and Krypton.

E. Disney was also an inspiring point in my life with the old Saturday cartoons and it's films, particularly Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

F. Unlike most families, we didn't have the money for game systems. But I still got to enjoy Sonic's days as a Freedom Fighter and Robotnik's creepy side.

G. It was 2nd Grade when I first learned of Sonic's Archie Comics, especially #25. I was inspired by Patrick Spaziante's art to try even harder with my drawings.

H. Fox Kids brought some unique cartoons on the tube, but the Batman series and Bruce Timm's art just set the bar for a need to animate!

I. It took some time for music to strike a chord, but eventually, the films and even the games won me over to the point where I was into the symphony.

J. Nintendo's Super Mario and Donkey Kong caught my eye around 3rd grade, by 1996, our family finally had a N64 to play Nintendo games!

K. Eventually, we got a Playstation. With it, I bought Final Fantasy IX, the game that introduced me to an orchestrated game and a compelling story...and Vivi!

L. I was psyched to see Superman getting his own cartoon, and was even more psyched when he met with Batman, this gave me a need for MORE crossovers.

M. Will Smith, what can I say about Will Smith except "Welcome to Earth"? He was the man in black who dishes out the talk as well as the guns.
