>> I AM AN ACRYLIC ARTIST.

I'M ALSO DOING DIGITAL ART.

ALL KINDS OF ACRYLIC ART.

SOMETIMES I DO WHAT MY MIND IS TELLING ME TO DO.

SOMETIMES IT'S LINE ART OR DIFFERENT WAYS OF COLOR.

IF I HAVE A SPECIFIC IDEA, I LIKE TO GO TOWARDS THAT.

I LIKE TO USE AS MUCH COLOR AS I CAN.

MY MIND IS VERY BRIGHT AND LIGHT AND AIRY.

THAT'S HOW I CARRY MYSELF.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO PUT INTO MY WORK.

I LIKE BRIGHTNESS.

MY PERSONALITY REFLECTS THAT.

I USE A LOT OF WHIMSICAL THINGS.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CREATIVE.

I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO GET THOSE JUICES OUT.

I PICKED UP A PAINTBRUSH IN 2017.

I REALLY JUST HAVEN'T STOPPED SINCE THEN.

I WOULDN'T SAY TAUGHT MYSELF, BUT AS MY --I GOT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH BEING CREATIVE AND MORE COMFORTABLE WITH UNDERSTANDING MY IDEAS AND UNDERSTANDING MY THOUGHT PROCESS AND MY BRAIN AS FAR AS HOW I WANT TO GET MY EMOTIONS OUT.

THE INFAMOUS SIGN FOR BLACK POWER.

I WANTED TO BRING IN THE INFINITY STONES.

THE ARTWORK AROUND AND IT WAS COOL HE COULD CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF THE STORY WITH ONE SIMPLE ACTION.

I THINK THAT REALLY REFLECTS DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH KNOWING THAT WE AS BLACK AMERICANS KIND OF LEAD THE WAY OF POP CULTURE IN A SENSE.

SHOWCASE THAT IN MY OWN WAY.

USING THE WATCH ON THE WRIST AND THE RINGS JUST SHOWS REALTY.

THIS ONE WAS THE FIRST BIG PIECE I DID.

I WAS TRYING TO CHALLENGE MYSELF ON HOW IT'S GOING TO LOOK AND HOW I CAN EXECUTE IT.

I WANTED TO THROW COLOR IN THE BACKGROUND.

I LIKE TO WORK WITH COLOR.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO PAINT SO I WILL PAINT AND ALLOW THE PAINTBRUSH TO DO THE MOVES WHERE MY BRAIN IS MOVING IT THE WAY THAT I SEE FIT IN THE MOMENT.

SOMETIMES I GET INTO OVERTHINKING AND TRYING TO PLAN TOO MUCH.

NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.

SOMETIMES I JUST PAINT AND ALLOW MY CREATIVE EXPRESSION TO TRANSLATE TO THE CANVAS.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ME IS BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN A WAY THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN.

I THINK ALIGNING MYSELF TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN COLOR AND EXPRESS MYSELF IN CREATIVITY AND PUSHING MYSELF TO SEE WHAT MORE I CAN DO WITH MY CREATIVITY AND NOT BEING --ALLOWING MYSELF TO NOT BE BOXED IN.

BEING ABLE TO SEE MY IDEAS COME TO LIFE IN FRONT OF ME, I THINK THAT'S A VERY --I WOULD SAY A SUPERPOWER IN MANY SENSE.

THAT WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF BEING AN ARTIST AND CREATIVE AND SEEING WHAT OTHER KINDS OF ART CAN I GET INTO?

MAYBE SEWING OR FABRIC WORK OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

SEE WHERE I CAN GO IN MY CREATIVE CAREER ON A PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LEVEL IS THE MOST REWARDING THING.
