What is your favorite type of art to create?

I like to make pictures by drawing or painting. I like to just let my brush lead the way. I enjoy the process, the way the brush feels influences results. I like to have the person that will own it in my thoughts while doing the piece. I enjoy making drawings on paper bags, old pieces of wood, etc with whatever is on hand to mark with. I especially like to create art when I should be doing something “responsible” - like working! I get my best pieces that way.

Where do you find inspiration?

Every fucking where! Hard for me not to see ideas in anything I look at. Inspiration is not always motivation though. Compulsion would be more accurate. I can’t stop creating so I’m always looking for ideas.

What would you do with $25,000?

Get myself housed. Invest some $ for my son’s future needs.
