I create art as a means of therapy. Its always felt like my purpose, my calling.

Realism sketches or colored drawings, I also do cartoons and anime and tattoo designs
Where do you find inspiration?In many things. Mostly in movies and music. I love watching creative movies and listening to inspirational music. Recently it has been in the band black veil brides, they sing about being yourself when the world wants you to change, and standing proud of who you are and it really inspires me to keep going. Keep honing my skills. Im far from the perfect artist but thats why I love art. Its everything. Its chaotic and messy and beautiful.
What would you do with $25,000?Personally, I would use it to help save my sick dog, or fix my car. And I have always wanted to start a local program near me for children to learn art in a space where they would be free to experiment. I dont have many opportunities to go to school for art so I would probably put some towards that, I work in a grocery store so it would honestly be a huge weight lifted from my shoulders to help spark more creativity. And I would love to teach kids art and how to express themselves.
