What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

The kind that doesn't require explanation the kind that's not made for public consumption a pure expression of a dark night of the soul or the genre of "Fuck you; that's why."

Where do you find inspiration?

Trauma chaos The duality of mans existence. Having no sense of why or what I can want for my joy or pleasure without losing to time. divining beauty out of horror seeing heaven clearly from hell. They say you should write what you know I say having met the devil do you not have a good perspective on the reality of God?

What would you do with $25,000?

I'd spend every cent 2 Divine a more sophisticated way 2 propagate a single idea, show the world something they're not willing to look at, No small task to save a man from himself, inconvenient to all. A deliberate stranger of the mind. No politics no identity. Just truth dressed up in enough flowery language and popping hifi infinite 1080pi definition beyond color 2 bright 2 ignore 2 shiny 2 not pocket. Id use it to Make something so sweet they don't question whats that I've ingested?
