For me, the key to forming a style is more about tapping in to a place of shared comfort and euphoria, and nothing comes closer than my childhood and the imagery and characters I connected most to. At the time, my earliest connections to art making were in animation and illustration along with my own toys and odd collections.
When I create, I do so by memory or imagination like a form of automatic drawing; I try to channel what things looked like in my mind and I just start creating shapes. I don’t use any reference material other than the occasional odd face or pose I see one of my dogs (my 4 studio mates) make while I’m drawing directly on a canvas.
