Where are you from?
Elmwood Park, NJ.
What are 3 things you never leave the house without?
Sunglasses, jewelry, purse.

What was your first username?
Shaneas44, I think it was on Moshi Monsters.
Who do you call/text the most?
My brother Mali.
What movie universe would you live in?
Steven Universe, The Movie... I say this because it reminds me of nothing but itself. I'm drawn to shows like Steven U, as well as movies like Coraline, that create a sort of new dimension that seems almost unable to be traveled to. Universes like these are special in the way where it could only be thought up by one mind, and it shows. It's something not seen before, 1 of 1.
What was your last purchase?
Faux furs.
Any Halloween costume plans?
Not as of right now... I'm always last minute when it comes to Halloween costumes. What are three songs that you find yourself drawing/ painting to the most?
Skypearleddat- WHAT YOU SAY??!!!
Lil Peep- Star Shopping (LIVE in Seattle)
Kanye West- Runaway (LIVE at Free Larry Hoover Concert)
What are you working on right now?

Right now I am working on a series of picture books about characters that I have drawn in the past. I make lots of thought through characters in the illustrations and pieces I make and I felt it was time to finally give them all a backstory. When I create a piece and put a character in it my mind always thinks up a wild origin story for them... so l'm acting on that. I like to break traditional illustration rules and laws of the physical world we live in... I see my pieces and illustrations as creating a new reality or world.
