My favorite type of art to create would be the juxtaposition of something that’s strange and maybe a little haunted but beautiful.
Where do you find inspiration?I believe most of my inspiration comes from music, whether it be a lyric or I have imagined what kind of world is living inside a record. I have on occasion while painting a commission will listen to the person’s favorite music while I paint. I would love to create artwork for an album someday. Books as well, where I find a line or a scene and go from there. I have written down dreams that I’ve had and draw/paint them.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would immensely help my family. It would help me to create more artwork which is my passion for many more people to enjoy. This would be a dream I couldn’t fathom of having.
