When I do art I want to inspire and teach. I want to inspire people with the beauty of African culture, I want to inspire pride. The more I create the more I learn about my culture and I hope that I can teach others about our culture.

Art is basically channeling energy, we receive, the ideas of the pictures or music already exists we just tap in and manifest it. When it resonates others it's because we all link into a universal conciousness.

When you work for yourself there really is no time off, it's constant. The more you put in the more you get out of it. But balance is the key, you should never burn yourself out either. #commission #illustration #ink #drawing #sketch #workinprogress #smallbusiness #blackbusiness #supportblackbusiness #design #tonderaiarts #blackmodel #arthustle
