I create art as a way to channel my struggles to turn them into something I'm proud of overcoming. (And I js like making cool stuff)
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating intricate portraits of characters and people. As well as monsters and horror based concepts. Human anatomy and different body types are so fun to draw. I love making beautiful body types for characters to bring more visual dynamics to the piece. Adding super small details are always a fun Easter egg for the viewer for when they look closely at it ♡
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from Manga and anime artists along side people who create fanart just like I do. I also find inspiration from hearing music. It helps in a way for me to create a piece from the different vibes and feelings i get from the songs.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to go towards Tattoo Schooling so I can get licensed and begin my dream career. I find so much comfort in the art of tattooing. Being in shops and in the environment of my dream job reassures my choice every time I experience it. Tattoos are a beautiful form of body modification that can be silly or tell a deep story about a person. The rest of the money I would use to put towards getting top surgery which would be life saving for me.
