About the artist
Art curated by
A word from the curator:
My sister is right now at the moment I write this building a cigar box guitar. I think even non-smokers like myself can agree that the art surrounding cigars is pretty freaking awesome.
Tell us a bit about this design.
I'm a periodic cigar smoker myself, there is nothing like a good smoke and glass of bourbon. Also, I've always been a fan of the cigar box artwork, and wanted to do something like that. Cubans long been know to produce the fines cigars and being in America, they are not readily available. I have to rely on friends and family when traveling to sneak me in a few.
Where are you from?
I'm from Nashville Tennessee. Born and raised southerner.
If you could live in a castle, what kind of special features would you add to it?
If I had a castle, I'd definitely have to include a basement tavern. Stocked full of the rarest and finest boose. I'd also need a micro brewery in order to brew my own frankenstout. While I'm at it I'd probably include a fully stocked laboratory so I'd be able to animate the corpses of the dead. I think that'd cover it.

Do you watch the show Castle?
I haven't watched the show “Castle” but my family does have a history in cinema. My Great Grandfather, William Castle was a little know b-horror movie director. A little history of our last nam: Our original last name was Schloss, which means "Castle" in German. He changed it to Castle, because he was afraid that could offend some of the Jewish population in Hollywood.Have you ever played the game Castle Crashers?
I haven't played Castle Crashers but there was actually a game called “The Punisher” which was based on the exploits of my Grandfathers first cousin, Franklin Castle. Franklin moved from his home town in Kentucky to New York City where he meet with tragedy. The story of his life inspired Gerry Conway of marvel comics to create a character based on his story.When your name is Castle, does it make you more or less likely to draw castles?
I don't think that in its self discourage me from drawing castles, but for some subconscious reason I have yet todo any castle based designs. Why is that? I love Castles. Hell, its even my last name.Who had the most awesome castle- the Queen of England, Cinderella, or Dracula?
Man, there are some great castle out there, Dracula's castle would be pretty awesome! Frankenstein Castle is pretty coool too. One the perfect stormy evening You can actually build monsters from flesh and broken bones. I also think Snow Whites Castle would be nice, You have mirrors there to tell you how great you are... not that I need that, I'm fully aware of my greatness.
What inspires your work?
I think everything inspires me. Certainly music as well as film. A lot times, when working on a particular project... say its some old turn of the century style elixir label, I through on some jazzy big band, throwback music like the squirrel nut zippers. If I'm working on a cult horror style poster design.... I'm gonna throw in some old mario bava movies. I can't go anywhere or do anything without being inspired one way or another.
