Saratoga Sake talks about his inspirations, from the subways of New York and the movie, Dreams Don’t Die, to his own personal losses. “I’m really miserable when I’m not creating,” he says. “As an artist, you always want to feel like your work is appreciated. That’s kind of what drives me, hoping some day my art will be in a museum, and it will be there forever.” (4:28)

Though he continues to create work in that style, Sake has expanded his artistic range to include graphic design, pop surrealism, and oil painting. “I’m really miserable when I’m not creating,” Sake says.
