This is a time when a person reflects on the child that will always live inside him, but more importantly, the grown man that continues to emerge intellectually, but never lost his child-like innocence.
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.”
