Inspiration...

Here is a short list of people who have inspired me in the realm of creative, artistic expression. Combined, they all epitomize the quality, style, and timelessness that I strive to achieve with all of my creative works.

Salvador Dali



His art is dark, strange, unique and beautiful.

Seth McFarlane



The Creator of Family Guy. He created the characters, is the voice talent for a majority of the characters, executive produces a popular animated series and will be rich forever. He has set the paradigm that I follow in the animated series that I am working on.

Spike Lee



Mr. Lee has created a body of work that has established his signature style in his socially conscious, thought provoking, entertaining films. Bamboozled is actually the movie that solidified in my mind that the Television business is the place for me.

Rod Serling



The creator of the best show in television history, The Twilight Zone. He also wrote a majority of the episodes and hosted each as well. The twilight zone embodies the theme of "Things not being what they seem" which is the primary focus of a lot of my writing.

Stanley Kubrick



The master film maker and director/screenwriter for my favorite movie of all time, A Clockwork Orange. His career is un-paralleled and he is a true master of his craft. You know a Stanley Kubrick Film from the first frame. That is the effect that I strive for in all of my writing.

Aaron McGruder



I actually grew up down the street from this dude. His mother used to Babysit me when I was very little. McGruder's Boondocks has become an american institution. His edgy, racially charged humor and social satire is unmatched.

Edgar Allan Poe



Greatest american poet ever. His storytelling is amazing, his imagery is incredible, and the writing is timeless.

Gordon Parks



Photographer/Writer/Film Maker/Composer...The man did it all and did it well.
