What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love showing beauty in people or things people wouldn't look twice at. But my favorite art to make is when you look deeper and find subtle messages in deeper layers. Thats when I feel I made something special.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find a lot of inspiration from past and current photographers and painters. Seeing a good painting or photograph makes me want to strap on my shoes and be out in the streets looking for anything interesting.

What would you do with $25,000?

I shoot almost mostly on film, film and developing is pretty costly so I would pay off a lot of debt I acquired making my art. I would also use it to continue making art with a little less stress.
