Learn MoreWhat is your favorite type of art to create?
I love to create characters and illustrative works. I love for my art to tell a little story whenever possible or to connect with the characters. I tend to lean into using bold and brighter palettes with darker backdrops or dark subject matter. The usual work I've been doing lately has been cyberpunk-inspired. So lots of bold colors with neon accents, tattoos, and cybernetics.
Where do you find inspiration?
Just about everything. From daily life, when I am just out and about and taking in the world, to finding inspiration through other artists. I am always studying and wanting to improve my craft. Some of my favorite artists are BROM, KJETLL, PricklyAlpaca, and Meggles, for starters. Their works are so well put together and detailed; I admire their dedication.
What would you do with $25,000?
Realistically, I would take care of some of the medical debts I have from my back issues. From there, I would invest in increasing that amount to reach my dream. I would love to have my own tattoo shop with a salon addition attached. Where I would want to take a percentage of our earnings(the goal would be 1-10%, depending on how well we were doing) and invest that into the local community. To shelters, to outreachs, to foundations that protect women and children, anyone saving people.
