Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

By far wood carvings.....but I have found a love for painting and the transition was somewhat seamless though not entirely easy...as I had integrated painting on my wood carvings carvings.....I have worked with stone..... metal....and various other materials.....ie. masks, chests, totem poles, Canes..... Staffs......etc....though I do have to say that the creative unconscious has this way of wooing it's creator in any artistic endeavor...in the hidden meanings that surface even years later...

Where do you find inspiration?

Honestly the first thing that comes to mind is an observation that came from an external source...in the form of a comment...by a friend..." He said, "I like you Bobby you're an artist and Artists care about the world" ... it's to me about making people happy or extending my experiences that went into the creation...and those who feel into the expression and interpret their truth in the experience this exposure manifests either as learning or growth ..Art is in its essence is soulful edification

What would you do with $25,000?

I think there are a number of ways this would be helpful...More Art supplies comes to mind....I am currently in the rebuilding phase in my life as in all things you deal with the hand your dealt... Let's just say this would help me shuffle the deck and deal myself another hand.....My deck wasn't stacked I had to retrieve and put the pieces back together those parts of myself...I thought I had lost... but they were never gone I just had to peel away the layers and retrieve them from the trauma
