I guess my inspiration actually comes from God, The Master Artist. In art, as in other mediums of life, man creates nothing. He uses what is already there, what God has created. Humanities natural resources are the mediums on the canvas of life. When an artist illustrates a picture that shows feeling, depth, and the true nature of the subject, then the key elements have been achieved.
Many people have different environmental preferences when drawing.
Usually, I start early in the morning when everyone is asleep, and finish that night or the next morning. I love to have children around me to facilitate my imagination and theirs. I give them an idea of what can be and in turn, these children search within themselves for the same gift. Having a woman sit there as I draw is also preferable. My favorite male subjects are Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Stevie Wonder and Michael Jordan.
