Receive Text UpdatesCubism. Whether I use lots of colors, or go monochromatic, I find it to be very attractive, as in it attracts. It always starts out simplistic & can stand on its own, or you can add to it. My favorite canvas is a shirt. I’m @ the mercy of the fabric I’m painting on. How will it grab my paints? How will it take? Do I have to stop & wait for what I just layed down to dry, before I continue with my vision? Patience is required. Being a shirt, I bring my art to the public instead of traveling to it.
Where do you find inspiration?Picasso, Matisse, Ce’zanne, a flower, the sky’s colors during sunrise or sunset, an emotional conversation, event, or moment in my world.
What would you do with $25,000?I need more easels, canvases, paints, brushes, airbrush’s & compressors. Need another canvas, to strap another shirt onto, so while 1 dries, I can work on another 1. I need to reUp on my makeup line that everyone is still asking for, but I can’t afford to. I’m known for teaching how to&how not to wear makeup. Would like to educate through social media. I’ve always wanted to do a Male Makeup Line. I’ve done Bruce Willis & Arnold for ABC, Forest Whitaker for film,educate guys to look their best.
