Drawing sketches on the back of marlboro cigarette carton boxes, using the iPad is amazing because of all the mediums u can play with! I do feel pencil and ink are the most natural and are easier to put ideas down.
Where do you find inspiration?In the everyday life, I work in a shop at the counter and get to interact I feel like with the entire world, I’m on bleecker st in manhattan, I don’t get to travel so I feel like the world literally comes to me. I see and hear all types of things, good, bad, but I stand back and just observe. I’m the watcher of the world and the people passing by.
What would you do with $25,000?Pay my mama back the $3000 I still owe her! 😂it would be a deposit on a bigger space for my kids and I, I’d focus on a clothing brand and invest my time on painting. Take a trip with my kids, I haven’t had time to really spend with them.
