I love painting large scale murals, I have painted with an airbrush most of my life but really enjoy creating giant works of art with spray cans using the same techniques I use when I airbrush but on a larger scale.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my recently deceased uncle. He had me painting since I was 4 years old. He always pushed me to create what I saw infront of me, using my imagination to push my artistic thought process taking me out of my comfort zone. Once the paint starts flowing l, its really hard to stop painting.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy more tools, a boom lift truck would be nice. I would take a trip to Europe too. There are a few friends in the mural scene in different countries id like to go visit and paint with again. Being able to travel and get my artistic style out to be viewed by more people would be nice. I would also fund my own mural project innthe city of toledo on a wall that needs the paint.
