All ART!!!!Art is The Ultimate Expression of one’s inner most self and thoughts. Because it’s what I’ve loved to do since a child. It’s been my life as long as I can remember. I’ve dabbled in graphic design professionally since 17..I’m 43 currently and had a 8-9 year run with a successful-ish LLC. I quit my day job. Took that risk and started doing logos, custom art and merch designs for people in some of my niche Hobby communities. And haven’t looked back since.
Where do you find inspiration?All around me. Past memories, people I’ve met. Experiences I’ve had that influenced my thought process and life in general. I find it in sadness, joy and love. I find it riding down the street and witnessing an act of kindness or meeting a random person you connect with that I feel is never just chance…I find it in myself. The broken, beaten down and tired in me. The joy, love and triumphs of life. It’s all around us and it’s so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes right now as I type this.
What would you do with $25,000?I would fix my car finally, Repair my drawing tablet. Help family and friends and if I have enough left after. Take me and my 2 sons On a vacation. Alternatively, I’d love to say. Keep the cash and let me hangout with Johnny for the day and talk about life and maybe even play some guitar together. As much as I need the money the thought of chilling with With Johnny for the day and maybe us Giving the winnings to other artists together would be EPIC!!!!!
