Surrealism is my favorite to create. I often blend psychological themes with the human spirit and environment. That which I can express through surrealism is greatly expanded compared to more traditional styles, like realism.

What would you do with $25,000?Like any sane person would, on strippers and blow. All jokes aside, I would invest it in a home studio to progress my art to greater heights.
