Creative chaos Being surrounded by his favourite inspirations is what keeps this freelance illustrator motivated

If you could take screenshots of all the inspirations and influences that are swirling around in my brain and then paste them onto a wall, it would look exactly like my studio.

I feel like I have always been creatively allergic to blank walls. I want my workspace to be full of energy and visual chaos. This way, I can lean back in my chair and stare at my favourite comic book covers. I can grab one of my many statues and set it next to me while I work. I have all my favourite books within arm's reach. It's the perfect place for me to do my best work.

I actually picked my house specifically because of the area I use as my studio. It's a loft that overlooks the living room and dining room. The studio is split into three main areas: my digital workstation, my shipping station, and my drafting table.
