I like bringing descriptions and feelings to life that sound profound as just words. I also think of it as exercise, seeing what I can do.

I most commonly use acrylic paint (easier to manage for me) with other mediums such watercolor and pencils. I prefer creating illustrations with people, characters, figures. The subject matter varies, but I usually go for psychological, creepy, hopeful, vibrant, intense, etc. Particularly intense, i've been striving to add more contrast and depth. My favorite body part to draw is the eyes, the window to the soul. Eye design alone can say a lot.
Where do you find inspiration?Souls i'd say. Both my own and other people, in whatever form they takes. I've made pieces based on mental health, moods, psyche, and my own perspective on things. On that note; Years ago I had the idea to make art based off the lyrics of songs I liked, the message, the expression, etc. I first made a starting piece based on "Time In a Bottle" by Jim Croce. It was over recent years that I started to produce more.
What would you do with $25,000?Hmmm... no idea honestly haha. I'd save it for whatever I or my family need later. A car, tank for my turtle, flight trips, etc. I'd also be making plans to sell prints, T-shirts, bags and get other supplies. The rest is what the future holds.
