My favorite type of art to create is more dark ominous black and white with pen and paper. I feel as if I’m more drawn to black and white rather than color. I’ve always had trouble with depression and connecting with people, so black and white makes things more clear to me and helps me process the darkness. So ink/pen is what intrigues me the most. I also love making art based off of my childhood fantasies with werewolves, dragons , and knights, but I also like to mix God into my artwork as well
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration within God, the bible , music , and my personal feelings and thoughts. Whenever I am feeling a certain way , or hear the right song that makes me feel something, I usually transform those feelings on to paper. My relationship with God helps me process these feelings and helps me understand them as well, he also brings hope into my life which is what he symbolizes in my artwork. Despite the darkness there is hope and that’s where a lot of my inspiration comes from.
What would you do with $25,000?If I’m going to be honest I am not sure what I would do. I would like to save the money and think on it. I’ve always been interested in making art my career or going to school and the money would definitely help me . But overall 25,000 is a lot and I would like to spend it wisely to help me with overall life in the future.
