It's the closest thing to control and spiritual release I have. One going hand in hand with the other. It is beauty and darkness and hope.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Anything narrative and visual. I love to make work that has darkness, danger and lethality but points to light in some way. Messy, cartoony and illustration style work in black and white is my favorite thing to create.
Where do you find inspiration?Life in all its shapes. There's much to pull from in nature, the human condition, the darkness of our world and the beauty of it. As members of Creation I feel each of us has something to offer and should create what we can to introduce beauty or release into the world.
What would you do with $25,000?Pay off medical and student loan debt, invest in some tools of the trade beyond my reach and treat my wife. We make due because she is strong and we are blessed immensely, but we struggle because of my illness. I'd love to relieve some pressure from her and treat her and get some of the things I can't afford that will make the task of creation more fluid and intuitive.
