In his own words:

I’m finding my personal style is really evolving now—I’ve been a designer for years, but never really thought I fit into the “artist” mold, so it’s interesting to me that at almost 40, I’m just now starting to really branch out and explore new styles and techniques and media. You never know what life is going to send your way, I guess.
