What is your favorite type of art to create?

Its crazy. Winning this competition should be important enough (I could really use the springboard, financially/socially) that I should've prioritized making art my first day off last week but I had this ... block. See, I have a voice and I believe youll all know it someday. But Chakras can be blocked and there's no way around it. I realized the woman I was seeing (we met online) would only get hurt by being with me and she deserves peace - so I cut it off and that was the most pain Id

Where do you find inspiration?

felt in a while, breaking a girl's heart because I know my path + who I am. I promised her Id draw a picture of her Father (RIP) when we were together and I still hadn't finished it ... I was trying to figure out the piece to work on but the spark wasnt there until I had the epiphany this morning and later sent her an update for Father's day. That's Heart Chakra 101 for the young benders. After she sent a text back saying she liked it I started this Luigi Mangione piece ... ☯️

What would you do with $25,000?

I wanted to spend the next 3 days painting but I got called in to do some #grip work #iatse #local52 for the next 3 days and thats just how the cards are falling. So maybe I dont win. Nothing will stop me, not even Will Hunting pretending to rap 'Good'. They'll call me ArtOfficial* + i AM THE B.EST E.MCEE E.VE(RR)* Cowabunga! Dblock* Inshallah 🐝 Amen. Oh × With 25 Gs? ..
