4. What/who are your influences?

Mother nature and the splendor and complexity of what our world has to offer both physically and not.

5. If you could meet anyone dead or alive who would it be?

If I could meet anyone dead who would it be? Eww no dead anybody. I don't think they would be much for keeping company. If I could meet anyone alive who would it be? Everyone I live and work with and meet daily are alive people. WHO else is there?
