I have epilepsy that affects my memory quite a bit. Art helps me remember certain things that I have trouble remembering otherwise.

I am a tattoo artist so I love to create realistic art permanently on skin for a living. Other than that, my favorite type of art is sketching and drawing realistic images. I am still in my color theory journey so I still draw in mostly black and white but I am learning.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from history. The way things used to be and the image that I have of the way things can be. For example, the tattoo industry that I work in has lots of issues that I hear about all over like how rough it is to be an apprentice but hardly ever hear of solutions or possible outcomes like apprenticeship programs, etc. The inspiration that I carry comes from my ability to find a solution and help.
What would you do with $25,000?I would most likely open a nice tattoo shop that focuses on apprenticeships and showing appreciation. Probably in one of the nice outer sectors of San Antonio, Texas. With whatever I have left, I will use it to help pay off my medical debt from having Epilepsy.
