As someone with BPD, I use my art to bring color, whimsy, and wonder to the world. I am heavily influenced by Tim Burton's art.

I enjoy creating art that reflects the colorful whimsy that I desire to see in life. It helps bring out my own happiness and makes other inspired and smile. I also enjoy gothic themes with fantasy wonder and bright and happy colors that reflect a feeling and convey my own emotion.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the nature around me, the work of Tim Burton (someone who has some of the most unique art and film style), and the fantasy worlds from myths, books, and movies. I also use my religion, Wiccan, to find my emotions and ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would donate part of it to the Paul Walker Foundation, buy flowers to put on every grave in one or more graveyards in my area, send some of it to my family that are in a tough spot, and then save the rest in my personal savings account.
