Outside of “seeing” a new piece in a pile of scraps, one of the most inspiring parts of my craft is getting to know other artists. The shared spirit of the creative process – how we all begin our work – is strangely the same in many ways, while being very different and unique to each artist.

Spent some time with the talented Peter Smolenski recently, playing guitar and goofing off in his yard while test driving his rad googles – I need to get a pair of these!
