What is your favorite type of art to create?

It really depends on my mood at the time I create. I love to paint flowers, surrealism, nature, eyes, and whatever inspires me. My background in tattooing really shaped my style artistically. So there is a lot of tattoo inspired pieces of mine.

Where do you find inspiration?

I would say a lot of my inspiration comes from nature and emotions. As well as my parents, my father was the best artist I’ve ever met, til this day. And my mother is the most creative woman that I’ve ever seen. I really got lucky with these two as parents.

What would you do with $25,000?

Honestly? I would probably use to it make a dent in medical bills that I would need for my hands, to keep tattooing and making art. But if that weren’t the case, then I would travel and just live life to the fullest while getting inspired by the world for my next art project.
