Why do I do art? I get that question a lot. I do art because it simply makes me happy. All of my work is like a reflection of me, it shows my thoughts and dreams. My focus on art varies. Sometimes I make funny themes, or I go for a darker tone. I love using both of these, I often even splice them. The processes and techniques I use usually are a film format, or a picture. I prefer to use films instead though because it feels like you're actually there. 

 

My techniques and style always relate to my films. For Example, if its a horror film it would have slower shots or a dark camera filter. When I'm creating a film I go all out with my imagination, so it takes a LONG time. Hours and weeks, maybe even months, or sometimes even years. My work may sometimes have similarities to other people's work but I DO NOT COPY! I always like to do my own thing and go a different direction with my work. Like, if someone takes a picture of a pen for their art. I would take a picture of a different pen, maybe have a similar angle, but then add a TON of VFX, and maybe even add a story behind it. 

 

My main goal is to be a director for movies. Especially if they are my movies. Steven Spielberg, and Stephen King are my two main influences. Steven Spielberg usually has good characters in his movies, and Stephen King usually has wacky ideas. I have implemented both of these in my works in the past. Horror and comedies inspire me, I have also implemented both of these in my works also. I see ideas and dreams in my artwork. I have had other people say that my work is imaginative and cool. The message is that do what you want to do, if you don't want to be an artist, you don't have to. Do what you want to do!
