I enjoy street art the most. I like doing large murals in public places in chalk. The topics are life topics and the work is presented in the form of neoexpressionism. 2nd to this form would be mixed media, graffiti wheat paste with a neoexpressionitic flare. I think cut the piece up in to what I call “thrashers gift”. My third type of work I like to create is abstract expressionism in charcoal form.
Where do you find inspiration?My greatest inspiration comes from humans and living. I find myself bewildered by human existence and the challenges we face as a culture. I tie in music, spirituality, and anything in typically reading at the time.
What would you do with $25,000?I started a project that has been on going called the LA Happy Meal. This was a concept art project about unconditional love. The idea is to go to skid row and meet with our friends whom are struggling, provide them a snack, give them a hug, and ask if they are really ok. I’ve been doing this for a year and the costs are great (gas and food). My goal would be to take this 25,000 and dump it back into the streets of Los Angeles. This amount would allow me to feed weekly for five years.
