If there is one thing on this planet I want to do, it is to create things and to never be idle in such a world rapidly advancing towards AI.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I typically focus on creating digital artwork now. Shifting away from pen and pencil I've found the creative process to be much more relaxing and forgiving when it comes to mistakes. I guess my favorite type of art to make is generally macabre or horror coded with bright colors and fun bugs.
Where do you find inspiration?I always love to make designs with vibrant colors that express a mood or vibe I feel, especially after reading a book or listening to music. My inspiration comes to me as I look through bug books and anatomy photos. Even looking at other artists and their methods of work inspires me to challange myself in new ways, attempting my own artwork in their styles.
What would you do with $25,000?What I would do with $25,0000 is try to pay off my college loans. I've got a lot of them and this would really help to set me up for some time. It's a big burden for me to keep focusing on paying these off and it weighs me down quite a bit some days. I feel that im over working in order to make up for them, and it pushes me away from my passion in the arts.
