I have a Doomguy piece on my shin to commemorate years of gameplay through the Doom games, as well as assessing the limit to creating a visual representation of the feeling, power, and artistic representation of the game character in a permanent illustration on my body.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?I feel my ink would speak to individual times of my life, portraying the self I was at that moment and expressing my viewpoint through each snapshot of time on life and the artwork being created. While most will paint the portrait of my admiration or ideals, others may express my free spirit and fun nature to get a work for art for the sheer enjoyment of the illustration rather than the meaning behind it.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would put a large sum towards starting a family and beginning life on a positive path. The other portion would be dedicated to promoting current works I work in to improve my community and inspire the youth of my hometown to strive for their dreams regardless of the challenges they may face resulting from their place of birth. I find a substantial amount of money to be the essential factor to improving the lives of those around me.
