I create art to be in the present moment, to express my view of the world and to illicit thoughts and feelings from others who view my work.

My favorite art to create is digital because it gives me the freedom to do what I can't do on a canvas. Much of my digital work is inscribed on the bitcoin blockchain as ordinals. It's been what I've focused on for the past few years and it really brings me joy knowing it's immutable and anyone can see it regardless of where they are in the world.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in music, life and art. Much of my work has a story behind it and I draw from my own experiences in my life. From a song I hear to current events in the world and especially from my personal life. It all effects my art in some way.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the 25k to help my family and also use the funds to purchase supplies to build a physical portfolio of my work. I would love to try and get into galleries and take my artwork to the next level.
