Art is the most consistent part of a life that’s so obviously transient. I don’t know how else to connect with the world.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Pen and ink drawings come most naturally to me right now. I’m enjoying creating worlds I’d like to inhabit in my work. I’ve played around with the idea of using my drawings like yantras or manifestation stations.
Where do you find inspiration?My ongoing spiritual journey is a lot of it. Nature, creatures, and whimsically dark forms of life make me happy.
What would you do with $25,000?I’ve been a little stressed about bills lately. My first move would be to get all that sorted and probably pay my friend Brian to help me organize it. Beyond that, I’d do nice things for people who’ve been kind to me and just have a good time. I’d definitely like to do some serious traveling with people I love. I think I’d like some guidance from people smarter than me on how to use some of the money in benevolent ways.
