“ I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. My mom says that I even drew on the wall from the crib, but I’m sure it wasn’t any good.I’ve been a filmmaker ever since my parents invested in a VHS camera for family archiving and I promptly took over the large device for creating my first movies. They were a cross between Monty Python and bad Kung Fu flics, the kind that would show on Saturday afternoons back when TV’s had dials.

Being an artist of any medium usually goes hand-in-hand with being a frequent ponderer. It’s this reverie of deep questions and contrarian considerations that often leads one to pursuing art. Maybe it’s because art allows for nebulous thoughts to take satisfactory form rather than burn and rot the soul.” – Matt Abraxas.
