My favorite art piece to create is something that is either thought provoking, or a mixture of different artistic styles. I love creating pieces that can both contain references to other pieces or subjects, while still maintaining it’s originality. Walking this fine line and creating this reconciliation is something I eagerly seek to achieve.
Where do you find inspiration?I feel like Im heavily inspired by Japanese culture of the 90s, graphic novels, and over all Pop culture as a whole. I really find myself attracted to dark, ominous subject matters. Even the human anatomy fascinates me. A lot of the principales of design can be mastered just by studying the human figure.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would self actualize and heavily reinvest into my artistic calling. I feel like God put me on this planet to help and inspire others. The old phrase an Image is worth a thousand words, is not mere hyperbole. Art can give a voice to the marginalized. It can cause the iron sights of a weapon to be remorsefuly pointed at the ground. It can bring down corrupt regimes, and the same time elevate and unite people. Creativity is a powerful tool, and I want to use it kindle humanities hope
