How would you describe the art that you create?
I guess my art could be describes as surreal, isolated and sketchy.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
My style was inspired by a bunch of artists, primarily artists from deviantart.com, such as Gabriel Iumazark. I really like the simplicity of his drawings. The way he stylizes his characters with detail while maintaining the simplicity of it is real nice. I also like Tim Burton, but now I’m mostly inspired by my surroundings and anything with a cool perspective.
Why did you choose illustration?
I chose illustration because it is a good outlet for creative expression, and my science marks weren’t that great.
Where do you hope to work after school?
I would like to eventually start a business and take some commission work, that would be the best case scenario.
