Creation… the act of creating — whether it is good or bad — is the only thing that can bring me peace.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I just love linear, three-dimensional, usually surrealistic type of stuff. I also like to create cartoon-type characters. Each one of them, I feel, is representative of a part of me. My heart, my soul, I don’t know, really. But you see what I’m getting at.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the overwhelming beauty of human existence, and the equally overwhelming pain that comes with it. I try to create what one might see as logical — something real, or something that could exist — but something that may also defy logic and physics (as we know them), but allow others to know that the pain of existence is real, and that it applies to each and every one of us.
What would you do with $25,000?I would get another 2006 Honda CR-V, used, single-owner, low-ish miles, move to the plot of land I am supposed to inherit, and purchase what I need to pursue the rest of my artistic ventures, which will likely continue for the rest of my life. Whatever I need to do to live independently, escape modern society, but make enough money to keep the government out of my hair.
