Its my place to say something with no compromises and 13 years of epilepsy has given me a lot to say even if it doesnt make sense to others.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Stuff where Im not thinking about it too much. I often walk up to the canvas with no real plan and dont use anything digital. Ive been working a lot with acrylics over the last couple years but I dont really have a favorite, just what im currently obsessed about.

Where do you find inspiration?

My biggest inspirations have been artists like Alex Pardee, Greg Simkins, and Bob Ross. More than anything I just love to turn my brain off and just let myself paint.

What would you do with $25,000?

Because Im on disability with epilepsy I would need to be very smart with something like this. Im still only 34 so I would likely put the money into a mass index fund to let it build and have a chance of not living in poverty when I get old. I already have that ball rolling with the little that Ive earned to try and have some money when I get old and $25k would make that a much more sure thing and set me up for a comfortable life in old age. Thats the real goal.
