My art is my magic. Even if it brings me more problems, it’s always been a part of my voice, my experience, and my survival.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy mixing cultural themes, philosophy, “religion”, spirituality, pop culture, street energy, sarcasm, and often times offensive presentation to encourage thought. I prefer digital artwork, painting, and my own rant style “poetry” to deliver my art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration where most people do I suppose. Books, history, movies, music, conversations with others, my life experiences, family, the emotional chaos within me, my complicated relationship with The Most High. Most of my inspiration comes from the odd ducks, the revolutionaries, the outlaws, the non conformist, the black sheep, the ones who don’t like following the status quo even to their own detriment. I want to be that for my kids. Antihero.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest that into furthering my art dreams, I was a stay at home dad for 10 years, I have no true education, and am disabled, I have really only ever been good at naturally being a father, and artist. I would use the money to build a foundation to my, and my children's future. I would have a starting point to build my life around my authenticity and vision. I would build something to spread light throughout my future bloodline, and community.
