Art is my essence of being, I love to create new worlds and able to tell stories and many cultivating ideas that my heart always produces.

My favorite art to create growing up has always been cartoons and comics. Also sometimes Japanese art styles as well which has been what I've been studying more for the past few years. Also sometimes I like to sketch out realistic images every now and then just so I can practice to improve my own art style further
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mainly in the books i read weather it be regular novels, graphic novels, and movies I watch, no matter if its live action movies or animated movies. Id say the most of my inspiration came from animated TV shows growing up on Cartoon Network, Disney and Nickelodeon. Other inspirations for art and story telling sometimes comes from my experiences in life or from others growing up.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 id mainly use it for school so that I can at least get my degree in animation or illustration because i really want to be able to tell my story that i'm writing and currently working on in the best way possible. Right im currently working on the comic for it so it would also help in funding advertisement and finding a good publishing company. Id also use the money to help my sisters with their school as they get older and maybe help my mom with her church.
