Artist all my life. Inspired by comics, painting and all things spooky. Currently my art is keeping me going during my mom's Cancer
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to create graphic art. I take the mundane and make it a little bit more twisted. I enjoy immortalizing Cryptids, folklore, and transforming popular culture into twisted monstrous variations of itself. My art is a reflection of the darker side with a bit of a credit twist.
Where do you find inspiration?I'm inspired by Tim Burton, Brom, and all things comic book related. I find inspiration where others would find fear. I see the beauty in the creepier side of existence.
What would you do with $25,000?My mother recently passed and we have no money for her. I would use some of my money to help give her a funeral. With what's left over I will finish publishing my art in a professional manner. As an artist with a mother who's battling cancer, my work and her survival have been at the forgetting of my life draining my finances. With that money I could finally get over that monetary jump and get to a level where my art can be pushed and seen her by the masses.
