I really enjoy creating graphic design works that incorporate both text elements, as well as people or characters, and conceptual art pieces, such as character, creature, and environment designs. Another artistic passion that I am frequently involved with is concert photography. There’s nothing more satisfying than capturing the perfect shot of an artist singing, or playing their instrument.

I find inspiration in the various movies that I watch, the musical artists that I listen to, and the unique pieces of art that I frequently observe, whether that be from the pinball machines that I play, or unique concert posters that I view at a venue. I’m always captivated by the striking pinball visuals created by John Youssi, or the filmmaking talents of Stanley Kubrick. Each of these things continue to have an impact on my creative spirit and drive.

The $25,000 would allow me to purchase a high quality computer, which would smoothly run programs of the Adobe suite that I use to create artwork. I would also get an agent to help me promote my graduate thesis project, which was a television show that I plan to pitch to executives to try and get a network pick-up. I’d also purchase a better quality of camera for my concert photography work.
