Norman Rockwell has always been my favorite artist, ever since I was a kid. I was captivated by how he captured emotion so vividly, using exaggerated proportions that still felt incredibly real. His ability to make you feel like you’re part of the moment has had a lasting impact on my own art. We often remember things in an exaggerated way—at least, I do—and Rockwell’s work mirrors that sense of nostalgia and connection, which continues to inspire my approach to tattooing.
