As a recovering alcoholic, it puts me in a state of freedom from stress, anxiety and negativity. Art calms my soul.

I like to create dark realism, mixed with other different styles. But anything that really emotionally speaks to me and I think would move other people as well in some way shape or form.
Where do you find inspiration?I am a recovering alcoholic and I find the inspiration from the emotions and feelings I no longer numb with self medication. Anything that makes me feel anything, happy, sad, anything. I am inspired by how something beautiful can come from nothing, and the feeling of doing it yourself is a really cool thing to experience.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in more art supplies. I would also help my family pay off some of there debt that they’ve been stressing about for a while. Don’t like to see my family struggle. And also pay off my debts too.
