I create Art to tell stories, and as therapy. I am a disabled veteran and my work focuses on America, Family, & War.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I would say any piece that I feel tells a story properly. As an Artist, I believe first and foremost we are story tellers, and have been ever since we figured out drawing on walls. Art is such an encompassing word, what is art to one is never art for everyone, but sometimes the best pieces are those that make the naysayers begrudge a work exists, that the artist exists, for them today “I don’t get it, I don’t like it, but I can see that it’s Art and that it’s telling a story” is a motivation.
Where do you find inspiration?My everyday, music, words my kid says, my wife says, a snippet from a tv show, an overheard conversation. Anything to help ground me in the Now.
What would you do with $25,000?Pay off debt. Thats the sad reality. Trip to Europe would be nice. $25,000 for an Art project? I’d like to do something community based, with the schools, taking one of scroll artworks to an epic size and scope.
