I come from a long line of artist. All my siblings are into art, so I was born into it. Born with it. I love art in every form.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I loved lettering. Sign painting. It all started when I was in middle school, catching myself drawing when I would finish my assignments early. From there it went to graffiti, which is very complex and so many different styles to learn. Then you have your own personal style that can be recognized anywhere. Also now into digital world making a lot of people custom designs and brand designs etc.
Where do you find inspiration?I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. There's so much art everywhere you look, from ugly to just beautiful. Also following my brother's footsteps into the art world. From cars to tattooing, it's unique in every art form. Never looked back since. R.i.p Cucho
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a creative space and costly materia/art supplies to experiment in different art forms. Also pursue my clothing line , mostly bleached clothing. I would also have classes for the youth that would like to learn about art and the ones in need of tips and tricks for their own projects. I would also fix my teeth and buy my dad a truck.
