It’s a way to release whatever I’m feeling, and have proof of my emotions. To be able to create something to understand yourself better.

I like dark realism the best, usually in pencil.
Where do you find inspiration?My emotions, or little ideas offline and then I alter them into my work. Add a little spice. But mainly however I’m feeling.
What would you do with $25,000?I would first buy my son (born march 26th 2025, 13 months old) new bed and clothes and snacks. More art equipment, have my bills on auto pay for a few months. Invest into a savings account, buy my family something they need or start a saving account for them (at least $2,000 in each) but I don’t know I wouldn’t want to go out and spend it. Maybe buy some art equipment for some kids and start a program, my sister works for Girl Scouts.
