I began drawing from inspiration I sought out from my father, who is a good pencil and paper artist himself. It was from there that I began experimenting with film and animation, specifically stop-motion animation. I owe a lot of my desire to pursue stop-motion to my aunt, who bought me my first stop-frame animation software kit.

Trying to pack 80+ people into a small room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not get into programming and arduino until freshman year of college when I got an arduino uno starter kit and began learning how to program stepper motors, LED lights etc. to run certain commands. I have not been as consistent with pursuing Arduino as I have other forms because I never really had a project in mind that required the implementation of Arduino. However, now I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned previously, I enjoy playing music as an alternative art form and even go on tour from time to time playing for different people from different backgrounds and sharing a lot of great ideas. A lot of my inspiration comes from musical artists, most of which are underground alternative\/hardcore bands. However, one person who has consistently made my mind wonder is Wes Anderson. He is the brains behind the stop-motion animation films \u201cFantastic Mr. Fox\u201d and \u201cIsle of Dogs.\u201d I have watched too many interviews of him talking about his background and inspiration behind the films to the point where I just need to meet him in real life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art plays a HUGE part in my goals; almost to a point where it is scary. As I mentioned previously, I run my own streetwear brand\/ art collective where I design, print and sell clothes and other accessories. It is still in the beginning stages but has recently began to pick up some momentum. I would really like to make something of it and even hope to partially rely on it to pay the bills some day. The other portion of the bills I hope to be able to pay from drumming and touring full time. Even the engineering I am studying relies on art because my concentration is in mechanical design and I hope to be able to land a job creating CAD models for a company if I choose to pursue the engineering path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making Mini Golf Le Fleurs*\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mX0cTRWnQF0?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Here&#8217;s a timelapse of me modeling a smaller version of this shoe I like by an artist Tyler, the Creator.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the summer, I was lucky enough to carry out most of the creative projects I had in mind. For example, my band was able to release our sophomore EP as mentioned previously, which we all believe marks the beginning of a new era of our sound. I was also able to make a number of digital drawings that are nothing like I\u2019ve ever made before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of my favorites.
