I like to draw with pen mostly high detailed statue and angels or things that express a lot of emotion But I enjoy doing just about any kind of art whether it’s painting, woodwork, and any other forms of art I’m always trying something new
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration within myself and nature I’m a very outdoorsy person I don’t base my drawing off of nature necessarily But it helps me relax and be able to imagine new ideas of what I would want to do that’s when all my ideas and inspiration start coming to me
What would you do with $25,000?Use it to pay off my wife's and mine debt we have And help our parents with some of their bills
