I think at my core, I just really enjoy creating bad ass looking characters. I'd be lying if I said that this character below was spawned completely from my imagination. However, it was largely inspired by a character from a game called Apex Legends. In this day and age, I think it's nearly impossible to create something that hasn't been influenced to a certain degree. Even if you were to sit and spontaneously scribble what's in your head at that exact moment, what ends up on paper probably came from an image stored in your subconscious. Whether we know it or not, our minds are gathering and storing information around the clock. As an artist, that's a great thing. I like the idea of having made something that was pulled from a collective reservoir of stored creativity. Like a watering hole in the plains of the safari, we gather as a community and take what we need, but also give right back. It's a beautiful thing, and it feels great to be a part of. It's what gets me up in the morning, it's what helps me through difficult times, and it is what inspires me to do more. I hope that it also inspires someone out there to do the same, as it inspired me when I was just a young child. And here I am, almost 27 years later, still pulling from the collective watering hole and giving life to bad ass characters. Have a great weekend everyone.
