What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite type of art to create are pieces that challenge the norm of thought. My art has been called dark by some and delightful by others because my pieces force you to reveal a part of yourself in what you take from them. The darker creatures and concepts I draw never harm un provoked but instead push the thought that everyone smiles when in the right company. Some monsters scare to keep the real monsters away from them but always respect those who respect them back.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my inspiration in not just art, but string theory, quantum mechanics and physics. When I was a child I wondered why people couldn't draw like we see even when copied exactly. People told me it was impossible without added lenses, or optical illusions etc, but in my journey through the vast spectrum of knowledge this world had to offer I found that answer and proved "impossible" very much so possible. and my inspiration comes from that. To prove the word impossible as the ONLY impossible

What would you do with $25,000?

Keep the momentum going in my art career while helping other artistic voices missed also be heard. When we have a free hand why not utilize it to pull up another reaching for the same good in the world. "An eye for an "I" leaves perspective blind." -Cory Jack Payerli
