I partake in quite a few different mediums throughout my life. Everything from Intaglio Printmaking, Sculpting, Graffiti, Meatl-smithing, Screen Printing, Tattooing, so on and so forth. Now I typically enjoy doing esoteric-type non-traditional black work in my Black Book ("Nigrum Librum"). I have been doing art for over 30 years and I'm 35 years old. I also freehand sacred geometric geometry, sigilcrafting for protective purposes without negativity. I pray I win this so damn badly you have idea!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in street art (Banksy, Ewok, Rime, Crude Oiler, Cope2, Abzord, MSK, MOM's Crew, Stompdown Killaz, etc.) Also skateboarding, authentic sleek fashion, tons of different music, tattooing, studying esotericism, Occultism, serenity in solitude, enlightening isolation, all the way to Soren Kirkegaard, Henry Thoreau, to Hunter Thompson & William Burroughs. I admire authenticity and originality. Along with loyalty, mutual respect, compassion, & dedication aiming for smooth longevity.
What would you do with $25,000?I attended college in Pinehurst while living in my car, I achieved the highest GPA with an Invitation into Honor Society but moved back to Wilmington and was homeless this past year outside summer and winter trying to survive. I was in a VERY severe accident 4 months ago and haven't been able to stand up or walk since then. I was hit by a truck going 45mph while walking at night and I'm still confined to a hospital bed while making art. So I'd ask Johnny Depp to help me invest for success!
