Where do you find inspiration?In my emotions, my surroundings. My interactions with others. It comes from within. I have lived in terrible areas and still there is beauty there. The people, the conditions, the experiences.
What would you do with $25,000?Continue to create and bring my life up to speed. I was homeless for awhile. I have slept in cars. I have slept in places that had no real floor, only a working toilet and a kitchen sink and a mattress. My son had to go live with his dad and that tore me up. Living life is experiencing life. You learn more from the bad times than the good. I find inspiration from the beauty you can find in the bad times. That is when I think in color and it is raw and real. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
