Artist | Student | Varied
United States
An aspiring artist and writer , I grew up admiring the culture of Asia in my home state of Michigan whether through anime Gold Rush in the late 90's , the Godzilla films , watching and reading about history.
My first big inspiration was from my first viewing of Mothra vs Godzilla because of the unique special effects and storyline that would never get old . Another of my inspirations was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers film because both made me want to pursue being an artist.
My final inspiration to being an artist and writer for films and comics was the first era of Japanese and the Silver Age of American comics as well as the Hunger Games and the Midnighters.
