How did you get into the world of art especially in illustration?

Cartoons and comics were my first influence, for sure! But I think I got interested specifically for illustration through music - when I was about 13 years old I stumbled upon the CD cover of the album “Get The Picture?” from Smash Mouth and I fell in love with that style. The creator of that cover, mr. Shag (Josh Angle) is my first big influence in the field of illustration. The unique style, shapes and the colours he used just blew up my mind, and then I found myself illustrating like there was no tomorrow!
