Emotional outlet art. My life is anything but easy, so I like to channel my frustrations and woes through brush strokes and splatters. Sometimes I just like to create pure chaos, let my tools and the motions I use to lay down mediums communicate how I am feeling. Explosive, sharp, splattering representing the fiery rage in my heart, or dark, runny, fading dreariness that reflects the emptiness inside me. Although sometimes I like to make myself feel better by drawing cats. Cats make me happy.
Where do you find inspiration?Other artists and people around me. Sometimes I am motivated to capture the idiocy of society with crude caricatures that represent the... less pleasant among society I've had the misfortune of bearing with. Other times it's positive inspiration, and someone becomes my muse of sorts, either inspiring me to create images of them, or create images of things that make me think of them. Nature is a wonderful source, as well. Nothing refreshes the heart like some peaceful open air painting, you know?
What would you do with $25,000?I'd like to improve my living situation. I know it's not enough to buy a house, but it would be enough to invest in turning my creations and passion pieces into something of profit. I'll be honest: I am not keen on commercializing at all; if I did not have to make money to live, then I would not even consider it. Sadly, I did not make the world I was born into, but I have to live in it and adapt to its demands. So, if I must earn money, then I may as well do what I love to earn it. Why not?
