You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My main focus is Charcoal pet and people portraits that hold lasting memories, but mental illness is dear to my heart so i also create motivational, mental health, wellness picture quotes to help those like myself and struggling in times like these, for these i use both my line art and graphic art I self taught myself. I have always been good with words poetry, quotes, spoken word, I have also created emotes for streamers. I do all kinds of art but charcoal is my specialty.
Where do you find inspiration?In my new furbaby Nova i just rescued, Royce my pup who died in my arms I had him 4 weeks old to 16 years, my fiance, people who support me on my page I do work for as a portion of it goes to charity and my part im saving for Nova to be trained to be my guide dog. Nature, Eminem, Johnny depp has always been inspiring to me that's why I applied.
What would you do with $25,000?I would give a portion back to community like pet rescues here, tru north k9 compound who helped me with royce and nova and in my horrible times of losing him, medicine hat pet pantry she helps me and making sure I apply plus she makes sure animals don't go without food and nova for her training and things she may need plus there is some things I need to better my art I would buy that.
