Painting on canvas , I do a lot of doodles , and then I try to take those doodles and see how they look on canvas, I suppose I call my art pop art , urban art ,… I use spray cans, paints from Lowe’s , markers , oil sticks , pastels …. I’m kinda new to painting on canvas , just a hobby I do ,this weekend here in Las Vegas I’ll be posting up for the first time to show some of my pieces at a downtown alley event ha .
Where do you find inspiration?I been working in the restaurant business for A very long time, I’m a server , so I doodle on my note pad or on wine notes from work , I get a lot of my inspiration from work , from My doodles that I have kept over years . But I have always loved art since a kid/teenager , now I’m loving it even more then ever , been painting in my garage for about 2 years now , one of my biggest inspirations is BASQUIAT , feel in love with his art after watching the movie working at blockbuster video .
What would you do with $25,000?Pay bills ha , get caught up . Take my parents and kids out to dinner , buy some canvas and paints . Love music , so go check out some concerts , love concerts . Take a quick trip with my kids to Oregon to see the goonies house ha , and then still save the rest :)
