It is part of my soul. I need to create. Whether it’s drawing, sculpting, animating, creating is life!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I would have to say drawing. Everything else that I enjoy doing starts with some form of sketching. Then I will take my sketches and try to make them into some form of 3D.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from many places for me. My family and friends, the movies I watch and nature. Stop motion animation films have been behind a lot of my inspiration. The workflow from concept to three dimensional objects coming to life is truly amazing and makes me want to constantly come up with ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?I think part of it I would invest in my children and the rest I would put towards creating a more professional studio that I could create more art and small films. I have been working on one for the past 2 years that would possibly have gone smoother with a more dedicated space.
