Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my automotivation to out from depression, when I was little kid I dreamed to become artist, and when I make art, I comeback to that happy moments and get out from depression. I’m thinking in art all the time, any time I’m watching something, I’m thinking how would be that in a watercolor paint or a draw. The situation in my country don’t let me do what I always dreamed, but now I’m here, I decided to move to other country and start my life again from zero, here we go!
What would you do with $25,000?In this last days everything change, so I had a emergency surgery to have my gallbladder removed, so I will have a debt of at least $15,000; therefore, I will use the money to pay for that emergency and finish paying my immigration lawyers.
