Digital Art and Merchandise Art. I convert raster drawings to vector designs using software like photoshop, illustrator and signmaster. I then Direct To Film to the machine and bake the designs then finally heat press on a T-shirt, hoodie, sweater etc. Sometimes I use a plotter cutter machine then weed out the unwanted part then heat press the design. I do embroidery too. My favourite art is surrealism on a Tshirt print and Jersey customization
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through my life journey growing up with no equipment to now having the opportunity to use my talents and skills to make in impact an life through art. People wear my clothes and they appreciate my work. They give me good reviews, that motivates me and inspire me a lot. I get inspired by Johnny Depp’s movies as well, gives me ideas on surrealism.
What would you do with $25,000?I will expand my entrepreneurial printing project by buying machines and add online classes that teach others how to print on clothes. Such trades don't exist so I would like to be the first one to do it. Also, I will buy a mug press and start cups and glass sublimation printing. I will improve my store with facilities to equip me because I’m in need of plenty resources. I will also print clothes and donate to donation centres in my city
