I make art so I can sell it & make enough bitcoin to move to a remote, off-grid cabin in the woods & never have to see humans ever again.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I like creating any type of art which will make people laugh, think, cry, and/or get angry. My preferred medium is pen and ink on Bristol-board, however I also enjoy painting with acrylics & enamel,(spraypaint & brush) on canvas & anything from walls to freight/subway trains & freeway overpasses. I love doing full gallery installations & spending weeks transforming blank walls into a multi-sensory overload. I also love creating “fake rares,” rare pepe derivatives, minted as nfts on bitcoin.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the pain, trauma and disturbing aspects of life, as well as the mundane, and ridiculous aspects of society and pop culture. I draw much of my inspiration from the subcultures & sub-sub-cultures of which I am interested & involved in myself, but can not take any credit for my talent or creativity, and credit God fully, because, if Jesus didn’t spare my life from multiple overdoses & suicide attempts I wouldn’t be here creating art in the first place.

What would you do with $25,000?

Pay off debts, invest the rest in Bitcoin, launch my own DeFi dApp I have spent over a year building, help my Mom who was recently widowed w/ no life insurance & get my art table and art supplies back from my ex-in-law’s storage in NJ, where they’ve been kind enough to save it for me these past 7 years. I probably would also fix my computer and get some nicotine lozenges and açaí juice also, so I could lock in and finish my graphic-novel. It would be life changing.
