I love making art because it’s therapeutic. I make a lot of my art with my toddler, & it’s so much fun creating paintings with him.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
It all depends on how the painting background comes out. That’s what gives me the inspiration for the subjects. It usually ends up being food, animals, anime characters or characters from my favorite shows/movies. But I love creating artwork with my son, who’s currently a toddler. So as long as we’re doing art together, that’s all that matters.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is usually animals or anime shows that my son and I watch. But my biggest inspiration usually comes from the color scheme of the backgrounds that my son and I create together.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to get candle making supplies and things that my son needs. I would donate the rest to homeless shelters. I’ve been homeless a few times since I was 12, and I want to give back.
