Over the past six months, I've realized that there are a number of recurring themes and images in my work related to skin conditions, limb injuries, and water/sea creatures. For the most part, I draw automatically, as if pulling a picture out of a canvas, without following a clear idea. I knew that some events in my life had a serious impact on my psyche, but I did not suspect how firmly such things took root in it. I was also surprised to realize how much of an influence the art of "Legend of Mana" had on me as a kid.
