What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Surrealism / Fantasy / High Realism, but with an eerie twist.

Where do you find inspiration?

EVERYWHERE!!! And my Synaesthesia Curse I suffer from? Or Blessing that I shine with? Actually Both at the same time, gives me a unique spin on things. It's like living inside a vortex-lattice of runaway Freight Trains, rushing past you hearing the clickety-clack of their wheels on the tracks and being able to pick things from each Train as it barrels past me and put these seemingly unrelated things and ideas together. And Artist Robert Williams is a great inspiration to me.

What would you do with $25,000?

I own an old Grist Mill in Orland, Ontario, Canada, (it's actually 188 Years Old), and I would invest in furthering my Art School that I want to build. To teach many different Medias to many different Artists. First up would be a Kiln to kick-start the Pottery and then increase the lighting in the Mill, I need to expand past my Custom Painting Techniques, (of 45 years experience). I would also invest in a Poly-urea Spray System for hard-coating Foam Sculptures, for teaching Sculpting.
