What is your favorite type of art to create?

Whimsy Horror. I love creating scenes and decorating models for them. I also tattoo full-time and I paint and do body painting. I sing and always have which tends to go hand in hand with the services I offer others.

Where do you find inspiration?

My experiences. Things ive witnessed. Things I feel. Things that just show up in my mind wanting to scratch it's way out. From the talented individuals I surround myself with. From the shadows. From the light.

What would you do with $25,000?

Honestly, I dont know. In this economy? It's hard to pinpoint that down whenever I need so much myself but want to help others just as much. It's more than i have now, but how far would it even go nowadays?
