Learn MoreI was inspired by visions - real ones. My mind sees in layers: eyes, cartoon portals, surreal characters, and dream-born symbols. Each line is a message from my subconscious, hand-drawn straight onto my skin like a living sketchbook. It’s not random, it’s a coded map of my imagination.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would say, “I’m a living portal. I move, I breathe, I dream. I’m not just ink - I’m a universe of cartoons, creatures, and hidden worlds. Step closer, you’re not seeing everything yet.”
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to officially launch my art business and career. I’d finally have the inventory, products, and tools to bring my visions to life, and share them with the world. This would turn my passion into my full-time reality.
