It is a contract I do not want to get out of. Pure expression is humanity, to suppress that is to ignore the fact that you are human.

Abstract, raw, and emotional. I general idea that is accurate to how I feel is much more important to me than refined peices that have been elevated to a level of general recognition.
Where do you find inspiration?People around me and their life, life in general, heartbreaks, relationships, death, grief, trauma, philosophy, past struggles with substance, and my feelings of alienation for thinking these things at 19.
What would you do with $25,000?I would give 10k to my mom as she is my biggest and only supporter, then I would put the rest towards getting more art supplies and instruments so I can ultimately support my art to a greater degree. I want to do bigger things, express my vision to its fullest extent. I do not crave fame, I want to be able to perpetually support my creative endeavors without the restrictions of currency. The cavemen who drew on the walls of their home did not do it with fame in mind, they just felt like it.
