I am a comic artist. My art is gritty and expressive. I take pride in the emotional aspect to my art and the narrative that gives it context
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy making comics and character art the most. Within that I excel at figure drawing and enjoy gritty charcoal textures.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from other comics, movies and stories that really resonate with me. I really enjoy the classic aesthetics of movies like kill bill but I also adore the later art style of the manga artist Sui Ishida.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to elevate my studio space. I like to add textures to my work and would most likely invest in a quality scanner and printer. Maybe I would also focus more on my traditional materials once I had a scanner.
