Michael Rilling

I started drawing and painting ect... as an easy way to make money. But lately, I've been obsessed with making things with popsicle sticks.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Scale models of picnic tables that can be folded into benches, pistol cross bows and miniature scene of when I came face to face with Satan. But, I put the later on the back burner. But, it will be made so that with a single lever made with popsicle sticks Satan will spread his wings. And my hair will stand straight up in the air, simultaneously. Just the way it happened in 1977 when I was only ten years old. And with the scale model of Satan, I could mass produce Bat Halloween decor and kites.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature and other people, hence GOD.

What would you do with $25,000?

I'd try get moved as near to Las Angeles as possible without crossing the fault line. As I believe that I've been called by God to go meet with Jack Black. As a Broadway MUSICAL seems to be in the making with all of the songs/poems that I've written since August of 2018. Which WOULD include an actual sized, cardboard cutout/kite of Satan. As a ten year old boy would sing the song that I wrote titled, "The Chase." Before running down the isle from the kite that looks like Satan, as Cult Classic.
