Lizard King

“I am still defining my style. I spend a lot of time experimenting with different techniques. My art is therapeutic. Creating art gives me a release of emotions which prevents me from becoming upset. It provides an emotional release".

He states that his art is therapeutic and a "release his anger preventing him from becoming upset by providing an emotional release".
