I've always created art consistently since I was 5 years old, finding wonder and sustained curiosity in drawing and painting.

Where do you find inspiration?Being raised in a bitterly divorced military family, art helped refine my personal identity and find a unique way for me to relate to the world. I find much inspiration in my 80's, "goonie-ish" childhood traveling between houses and having comics, cartoons, and books as company. Music and movies, along with my continuing art studies, also serve as steady wells of inspiration. My work continually evolves as the world changes around us - hoping if I create genuinely, others connect and enjoy it.
What would you do with $25,000?I would develop a budget to enhance my public footprint. Some would surely go to marketing, some would probably help reorganize and store my current inventory, and still more might be saved in the business account to help our art practice pivot as the world continues to change. Stay blessed and thank you so much for your careful consideration.
