this list could span many scrolls, what a joyus question! my heart will always belong to Minecraft, Ive spent countless years engrossed in that fanciful world, and many more to come! I adore The Last of Us, and controversially was captivated by the second installment as well, I grew up playing spore and it very much influenced my fascination with biology, Darkwood is so inspiring to me on so many levels, anything by Yames; they are truly such a visionary, Scorn is so admirable to me; I wish it had been received more positivity! some others are Soma, Portal, and Yume Nikki. humorously there are also a few Roblox ‘experiences’ I’m very fond of as well such as Vaporwave Plaza, Meat Circus, Dream World, and Concinnity!

it would be difficult to disclose precisely how I choose my colours, it’s on flux and the palettes I choose will depend on the piece; however I do not divulge too much to explain that I do not use the colour wheel for my selection, rather I opt for the RGB sliders. in physical pigments the process of fine tuning a color is more in line with that of the RGB sliders, I feel it’s made a massive improvement to my ability to select palettes that accurately account for the variations in hue as tone shifts in range.

I typically reference heavily the lighting and palettes of my pieces from media I am interested in at the time, for instance my minecraft pieces are developed with a careful study of the games color ranges; I then try to imagine myself creating those colors out of physical pigments. should a color realistically be able to reach this vibrancy with oil paints? how will the hue shift as I enter a new value range? these are just some of the questions I try to keep in mind.

I have done some work with charcoals but for the vast majority of my art now I have maintained digital as my primary medium.
