As of lately I love doing abstract but doing as it own thing without any thought of me screen printing on it. Keep both mediums separate. Just seeing what happens my abstract mind. Then when it's done I look for an image to screen print on to it. It could be an icon person or just some of my art. I just love see what happens combining the two art forms.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from so many different places. It could be what some one said in a movie. Music that touches you, sparking an emotion that gets the ball rolling. Family and culture also play a big part in my art atyle
What would you do with $25,000?Help artist by teaching them in more of an analog way. I feel is very important to get your hands involved in the process. I still pencil sketch ideas. I would some day like to teach screen printing.
