What is your favorite type of art to create?

visual sound and physical what I intend to create with my background of 25 years working in engineering field I’m going to build out what I would call fantasy factory/meets school rock. I already have it in the works. I’m just doing this all by myself because I was homeless from 14 and put myself through high school and had a stage built and skateboard built in Wisconsin throughout the years. I’ve tried to help but not seriously enough and now it is time to give back.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration through all young people out there who are coming up I feel they may be in the dark. I know that they’re hiding things not telling people it’s OK cause I can listen. I was one of them guitars changed lives so the combination is undeniable.

What would you do with $25,000?

$25,000 put it to a list of people that I’m creating right now there’s about 10 or 15 more from my Facebook page nonprofit Gislamechguitars.com about 10 guitars in the community im moving from and go to Austin Texas, where I keep blur in the art scene and help way more thousands of people right now we have ambassadors in a few different states in a board member in Ohio. His name is Drake really cool kid potential next president anyway, I can go on all day. About kids I’m helping 28 days so far.
