I love to create because when I die I can leave my experiences, thoughts, and emotions as something that can forever be shared.

My favorite art to create is something that speaks volume to everyone all the way to an emotional level in a unique way. In a way that is understandable but carries a different meaning for each and every person who sees it. A timeless peace that can be cherished through time.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration for the most random things so I couldn’t narrow it down to a specific place, thing, or person. Inspiration is everywhere in the sky, on the ground, in trees, in books, online, literally every where the entire world is my inspiration. The only thing that determines what is and isn’t is the ability to create from whatever idea is formed from what I’ve seen or heard in the world around me.
What would you do with $25,000?With the $25,000 I would set it aside and wait until world tension dies down and until I am in a position where I can travel. So I can see all the things the world has to offer and all the different ways people utilize art as expression. Letting me draw inspiration from all I see and everyone I meet. Allowing me to seamlessly incorporate those experiences into my own unique style of photography, tattooing, graphic design, and hand drawn pieces.
