Anthony Bascle

I spent 29 years in Louisiana State Prison at Angola. I used art to do my time in a positive way - creating beauty instead of ugliness.

What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love expressing myself through color in oil painting. Allowing others to see and share what I feel.

Where do you find inspiration?

For me, its all about trying to capture and share an emotion via my recreation of a certain place, time, or person(s). If I feel the subject matter is relatable in a inward sense, I attempt to share it with color and movement.

What would you do with $25,000?

Pay off some debt I've incurred during my transition back to civilian life, and concentrate alittle more on the gift that I've been blessed with.
