"So usually I’ll just be hanging out, or walking to school and some idea for a drawing will drop into my mind, and I’ll be like, oh that might look cool. I’ll take a few days to sort of develop that idea and then I start working on it; I do the base sketch, and then I’ll start coloring over that...

Last weekend I had a showcase for colleges, so college recruits can come and watch your team play or just you play, to see if they want you to come play f...

“A large impact on my life? I think my grandmother. She’s made me want to be a doctor, because she was a pediatrician in the 60s in Russia, where it was very difficult to be a pediatrician, especially if you were a woman in Soviet times.

“Creative, annoying, weird, strong, gay. I just feel like those words sum me up because I’m not much more than that. I like painting, I write, I sketch a lot, I used to work with acrylics a lot, that’s my favorite medium to use. I got interested in art when I was like six because my sister was...

“When I was scuba diving when I was eleven years old, I had just got certified. I was certified to 60 (feet) but I went 100 (feet) actually. There was this turtle and it came out of the dark, the black, it was so deep it looked black, and it came out and I grabbed the back of the turtle and I just s...

Where the grey carpet met the corkboard flooring was where I learned to love. Not knowing the full capabilities of a Jack and Jill style bathroom, my brother and I waited patiently. The rule was clear. When the first number on the clock turned to a seven the reins were released and we were set free into my parents’ room. It looked like Christmas Day, but sounded like the Kentucky Derby. I was never...
