My uncle Brewster Luttrell has been an artist ever since I have had memory of him existing. This influenced me to no end as a child. I found myself going to his art openings as a teenager and rubbing elbows with some of the most amazing people I have ever met, most of them being quite eccentric artists with varying levels of insanity. They lived the way they wanted and they expressed themselves the way they choose to. Not everyone liked their stuff, but a lot of people did.
I admired them, and most of all, I wanted to be one of them. I was fortunate enough to discover a need to be an artist very early in life. Those guys were cool. They had a lot of fun, and I wanted to be just like them.
I soon raced towards any form of personal expression I could get my hands on.
