Reading...

I do a tremendous amount of reading in preparation for many of the things I make. I check out books, use reference books, artist books, anatomy books, and the internet. I make photocopies, and sketches, and use the books not only as information to refine an idea, but also as inspiration for new ones. when I'm stuck, I spend time in library's browsing books and websites, looking at artist works, and reading. Generally speaking, books and reading are a massive part of my creative process.
