I make art to process existence.

I enjoy using water pencils & crayons on thick paper to create portraits and free form abstractions where you can see different things in them with each viewing. I also like doing similar themed imagery using oil, acrylic and wax on wood and windows that I find on the street or in carpentry dumpsters.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the past present future of life. What's conscious, as well as giving the subconscious space to breathe. Letting it find me organically. A part of that is imbibing art from other humans from any time and anywhere mostly through the traditional genres of film, music, visual art and literature. And that communal energy produces something to experience in 4 dimensions here.
What would you do with $25,000?I'm not sure really. Off the top of my head I'd take a small trip somewhere, get more supplies to make more art, save some and give some away as well.
