I really enjoy creating art that flows from my intuition, that resonates with anyone, like a good song that never gets old. I enjoy when I’m able to make something 1/1 for someone. I typically paint jeans&jackets for optimized character customization. Tattooing has become a new special interest to me because it allows me to connect with someone over their personal stories, take that information and create something special, it’s not always serious.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the deeper meanings of life, seeing different perspectives, and communicating a story with an image. I enjoy creating things I think are cool. Im inspired to communicate something that creates emotion/reaction/ resonates with many. I find inspiration by transmuting/ alchemizing the things I’ve been through. I’m inspired to find a way to communicate deeper meanings, to show people it can go there yet it doesn’t have to.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had the privilege, I would use that money to support the business I want to create and to pursue tattooing. I have been focused on the 9-5 and hope I can dive into my skillset to take things to a professional level. I want to eventually auction my paintings for charity to support local causes.
