I was born and Raised in Las Vegas, I joined the Army 2001, 3 combat tours in Iraq, blown up 3 times and shot twice, I'm now 100% Disabled!
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
To be honest I really enjoy all art, from famous artists, people on the street, to people that don't think they have any talent at all... I guess my art is kinda referred to as Low Brow Art, kind of street art mixed surrealism but also enjoy mixing abstract even though i guess they contradict each other, but that's what I kinda feel Lowbrow art is.
Where do you find inspiration?I've always liked art since I was young, but I would have to say another of my inspiration comes from seeing War first hand, coming home someone different, I have a extreme Traumatic Brain Injury, from being blown up 3 times. How people treated me different, I was ashamed of what I went through and didn't want to get help which made it harder on me. But I did and faced my demons and painting helped alot and still does. If Im not painting I don't feel right, like something is missing?
What would you do with $25,000?Well $25,000 would come in really handy right now, I just got my business license, The Fox in Sox llc, I'm planning on moving to Austin and renting a store front to Tattoo, paint and work on cars and motorcycles. I wrote up a really good Business plan but having trouble qualifying for a SBA loan.The money would be used for material, down payment on the property, I want a open area where I can help other Veterans use paint or whatever medium they are comfortable with to express their inner feelin
