“In the creative state, a man is taken out of himsellf. He lets down, as it were, a bucket into his subconscious, and draws up something that is normally beyond his reach. He mixes this thing with his normal experience, and out of the mixture he makes his work of art.” —Novelist (1879-1970)

Where does your inspiration comes from?
I guess what inspires me is to create a design that is my own. Really being able to say I did that and really putting everything into it. I am thankful for having partners that share the same Ideas and goals as I do and who really influence me to design. As I create my designs I use the industries standards, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and incorporate After effects and Ray Dream. A lot of the best designs come from trying new things and just keep establishing new ideas.

How did you get involved in web design?
"At the end of my third year of Graphic Design I wasn't ready for "the real world" I guess you could say. My design skills were alright but as the internet grew around me and I saw the early web work of Volumeone, and Gabocorp, I really knew that's what I wanted to do. I saw a huge opportunity and I enrolled in a two year Multimedia Design course. That's were I really put all my time into 3-D and Flash. I started working with friends at Velocity Studio a place that really is an incubator for young designers. A business that focuses on growth of a designer and not just their end product.

What is the theme you have chosen to expose in the creation process of "The Horus Project?"
Really it's just about freedom. Shane, Marco and I all use it as a place to show the designs we do in our spare time. There really aren't any limitations to the work that is created because it is all about the designs. As you can see the images are very intense, loaded with detail and inspiration. I think people can see the difference in that.
