No one taught me how, none of my family ever did it. When I first began art as a kid, it was unique to me alone. It’s the fabric of my being

My favorite type of art to create is art with a message. Whether that message is obvious or requires you to dig a little deeper to find what it means, I love making art that inspires thought. Even if it’s just art that I made simply to make it exist, I don’t think I could exist without creating art. But if my art could do more than just appease the eyes, it would incite change, spark debate and friendly conversation while inspiring others. And that’s my favorite type of art to create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from everywhere around me. My fixations, politics, books, astronomy, my friends, and the media. But my biggest source of inspiration is my mom. My mother is my muse, and she knowingly claims that title. Having verbally told me she was my muse before I even thought to agree. A lot of what I create is created for her, either as a gift, a request, or something she needs. Even if it’s art for school, it still is hers. (Thanks for turning the toilet closet into an art show mom)
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000 dollars, I would use it for college. Although I plan to attend a community college before transferring to a film school to study Animation and Theater Tech, my schooling will still be costly. And unfortunately none of the film schools are near my parents for me to save money on housing. Adding to the costs of my college education. Whatever money I have left over, if any, I plan to invest the money to try and make more available to me to spoil my mom with custom houses.
