IMAGES. IT’S AS IF YOU’RE AN EXPERIENCED DJ/SELECTOR. WHAT ROLE DOES MUSIC PLAY IN YOUR ART AND LIFE? I’m glad you took notice to that. In fact, I take a lot of pride into completing the entire message of my design. I specifically select the right track to fit the vibe for the design. It completes the entire ensemble of your will. I used to play in a couple of bands as a young teen. I was a goth punk finding my way in the world. Music has saved my life numerous times. Music is a huge part of my life, so I wanted to translate the emotion and feeling and bridge it into my design. But I also believe film editing helped my love for inserting music with the image. I want you to feel all of it. WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR FUN? I like to be outdoors when I can. Especially hiking and getting away from the concrete. It cleanses the soul. Going to antique stores, collecting retro nostalgia of sorts. Listening to music has always been a deep connection for me. Playing a few games from time to time. Life adventures and hanging out with my kids, Logan and Laurel, and my best friend and wife, Elysa. HOW DO YOU BALANCE BEING A FATHER WHILE BEING AN ARTIST? Being a father was my best artistic achievement of course. I don’t know how I could live without them. They are why I stay motivated in everything I have passion for. WHAT’S YOUR ARTIST MANIFESTO. My manifesto is accepting and knowing who you are, to be real and authentic, and not take life too seriously. WHAT SENSE DO YOU RELY ON MOST? AND IF YOU ONLY HAD TWO SENSES TO CHOOSE FROM, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? I rely on common sense, my intuition. If I only had two senses it would be the sense of sight and the sense of love. TOP 3 GAMES? Top 3 games would be Elden Ring, Dark Souls and Robotron: 2084. TOP 3 ARTISTS? Top 3 artists would be Brothers Hildebrandt, Salvador Dalí and Maxfield Parrish.

WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE TO ASPIRING AND/OR FELLOW ARTISTS IN OUR CURRENT TIME? My advice would be to be patient with yourself. Believe in yourself most of all. You’re the only person getting in your way. Tune out the noise and focus on what you do best. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. ANYTHING IN THE WORKS FOR THE FUTURE? As for the future … I don’t want to put any pressure on anything or it becomes work. Sometimes you need to break the cycle of things. So I’m gonna listen to my mind and body. But I’d be willing to bet it would be doing more creative projects. In closing, I must say that life has a way of teaching you things, good or bad, they mold your being. I’m without doubt and certain that we all serve a purpose, mine is to create things that touch people’s minds. PHONTO DAVID BYRNE RIDE THE LIGHTNING DAVE, LAUREL, LOGAN & ELYSA
