Some of his favorites are: Picasso, Mati Klarwein, Dali, Ernst Fuchs, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Sly Stone, Janis Joplin and Basquiat. He respects to these artists for their individuality and his message of peace, love ascension and promoted through their artwork.
