A lot of what you’ll be seeing from me in the future will celebrate the youthful imagination that has always been a part of who I am, but also the adult perspective of a father and artist and member of our community. My birthday wish is that you, my fans, will join me in some new undertakings and that we all travel into a bright future together. I feel young enough to look into the future with great optimism.”
