What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love creating my handwritten artwork. Like the Kobe tribute, in 5 months and over 120 hours I wrote his whole life story. His family, every basketball stat, teammate and coaches names from his 20 years as a Laker, the helicopter victims names, Vanessa's speech from the memorial, letter to himself, Dear Basketball poem and much more! My artwork also transforms at night. I add a hidden glow in the dark portrait that can only be revealed under black light or in a dark room.

Where do you find inspiration?

Everything I see is inspiring. Everyone has a story that deserves to be written. As the saying goes "a portrait is worth a thousand words". I use those thousands of words and make meaningful and unique handwritten artwork with them.

What would you do with $25,000?

Allow me to continue making my handwritten artwork. Cover things such as health-care, start-up business fees, art supplies, transportation to local museum and art galleries, fly to locations across the world. It would absolutely change my life.
