What is your favorite type of art to create?

What concept come to mind at the moment such as randomness. Colorful shapes that gives me joy to see and gives an emotion. Mediums combined in complex designs or simple shapes that draws the eye to piece. Each art piece unique, different that records a once in a life experience that is sealed for ever. Once created I make a digital copy of it and publish on Facebook, Instagram for a world wide exhibition.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in my weakness, when every day boredom lumes, when energy intensifies in a way that I can not stop creating making the visual images one by one. Once the artistic energy comes I can not stop as if my only reason being alive is to create the art piece weather it is correct or in error but constant improving the image until a magical moment then I stop never to do anything further with that piece. What happens to the art piece is to display it virtually free for everyone to have

What would you do with $25,000?

I would employ the funds to purchase materials to continue creating more more work. Most of my extensive exhibits of art I create very economically feasible through tools available on my cell which enables images I color and shade manipulation. Images I modify to create a different point of view or prospective. Money somehow makes art important, it give art value, it bring art to the stage. The image becomes the actor, the song, the poem all in one and it lives for ever. God blessed me with this
