I draw people i know that have had an impact in my life & make them as heroes for they're Legends To Me which is the name of my Comic Books.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art that I create is what I call "fusion" which combines both influences from American Comic Books and Japanese Manga to make something special tailor made to each person I draw who has been a positive or even negative influence in my life. I also draw influence from anything in asian martial arts, melee and hand to hand combat. When creating illustrations I do it with the intention of giving all graces to God in the most passionate and intimate way that I can by illustration
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration origianlly came from illustrators like the great Jim Lee , Michael Turner (RIP), Keisuke Itagaki and many more these people are my top 3 of all time. But I got to give all honor and glory to Jesus Christ that he has endowed me with these talents to demonstrate to the world. I also draw inspiration from the beauty of Gods' skies, beaches, lakes, nature hence why I gravitate more to drawing those things on paper.
What would you do with $25,000?Definitely pay-off some debt that I owe from being a father of 4. Lol Then invest money on some new art tech such as scanners, printers, mechanical pencils, fine ink pens, macro markers, and pay to advertise my art on my platforms. I want the world to see my god given gift as a tribute to Jesus.
