I love to do black and gray realism drawings. I like to try to capture people’s emotion and intensity.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere and all around me, I’m constantly studying everything I see through light source and texture. The shape of a face, the way the light shines as it curves around the cheek. I’m in the business of capturing a moment and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put a down payment on some property in the woods and then buy a bus and renovate it and live on the property.
