Where do you find inspiration?through heavy raw guitar tones, distortion, and extreme bouts of emotion in the moment. I find inspiration through grit and grind, the ugly, and the melancholic. beauty in the stain, a concept that intrigues me. I draw inspiration from bands like nirvana, jejune, Melvin’s, and from painters like Paul cezanne, Richard diebenkorn, and el Greco.
What would you do with $25,000?Put it towards finishing up my bachelors and towards my masters degree in fine arts as well.
