He got interested in art when he was just 9 years old. His older brother brought to him a drawing of Mario from the video game Super Mario World that looked so beautiful to him. But he swore to himself that he could draw a batter one. After several trials, Carbrey realized that he could not do better but he got hooked to art since then. He also found out later that his older brother had actually traced the September 1991 cover of Nintendo Power magazine to obtain “his” drawing. This encouraged him to work even harder. Since then his relationship with art has grown and has become more complex. His interest in the visuals has also strengthened. Carbrey is fairly sure that he could still out-draw his brother, and he is also fairly sure that his brother is out of practice.
