A: I saw some of Salvador Dali’s work today at Dali 17. There were pieces depicting distorted bodies. Unsettling, but fascinating.

Shoot Me: Photography and video. I like to capture people in a cinematic element bringing out the mood of the photo.

A: Two Nudes by Georges Rouault. It shows a stalemate between two people who don’t want to communicate anymore.

Picture This: I draw portraits of people I’ve met with a brush pen and pencil.
