There is no shortage of pain, despair, and angst in the world. Those things take very little effort to influence an artist,
because they are issues every person on earth has had to contend with. To set that all aside and use your medium to share
something of substance is the beginning of truly great art. To claim my influences to simply be from the realm of painters
and limit them to Pollock and Chagall is really an unfair approach. History's Idealists have formed me far beyond the boundaries
of any one discipline. The work of Thoreau and Salinger has molded me just as equally, as well as Cash and Morrissey. The
influences are everywhere and include the sentiments of every true Idealist I have met from my father to the very first Idealists
who left their mark for the world to see on cave walls. -- Sean Starr
