How long have you been exploring that facet of yourself? Could you enlighten us on any projects in music that you are especially proud of?īack in the day, I always sang, but just not professionally. On your official artwork page, you talk about your sketches at a young age. I was turned on to your work as a visual artist, but I was surprised to learn that you were more well-known in some circles as a musician. I’ve worked with a couple companies with regard to my art (t-shirt, gaming, trading cards, etc.) in which I’ve designed logos and concept art… as well as album art for countless musicians. Is there anywhere that we might have seen examples of your visual art? ‘No mess, and super convenient especially when I’m touring. Honestly, I love trying everything, but if I’d personally have to pick I’d probably go digital. I would say both digital and traditional (street art included). What are all of your specialties in the visual arts? What are all of the types of art that you practice? Whether it be food, music, culture, etc., I look for inspiration everywhere, and try to find the artistic beauty in every little thing. I draw influences from everything around me to be honest. What other influences are there on your style? You’ve openly spoken how video gaming influenced your visual art style I think otaku culture in general has also. I always say that the most successful artists are not successful solely based on skill, but have something different, unique and avant-garde to give to the world. I honestly would say what you said above! I sort of morph all of these styles into my own, and it seems to have always worked for me. How would YOU describe your visual art style? It reminds me of so many genres that were bourne from a style that elitists and orthodox practitioners fail to professionally recognise, yet are made legitimate. It’s one part manga, one part graffiti, one part hip hop, one part tattoo aesthetics, and a whole lot of fantasy. I have to say that I instantly fell in love with your visual art style. But on a real note, all you have to do to become better at anatomy is keep drawing and practicing. Yeah definitely! It also helps when you come from a medical family, hahah. Does studying the medical sciences help in your arts? I have a friend that trolls on other artists about “You need to brush up on your anatomy books!” The layman might not get it. Sometimes, I get ideas in which I want to tie science into my art, which I already have in some cases. However, there are times when I miss the scientific part of myself. Honestly, not a lot now since I’ve dedicated myself to the arts. How much of that is a part of your life, now? In fact, I heard that you originally went to school to practice the medical sciences. So for people who are fighting their own wars, there is a light, just stay strong. For a while we fought and fought, but through all the struggle I think we learned to see different blessings and amazing miracles in that time of struggle. Basically, in a generalized aspect this is what happened to my family for a couple of years: people were jealous of my father, had a lot of power, and wanted to use it to destroy him and his career. My dad always told me this happens to dreamers, the go-getters, the people that want to forge their own path. They will do anything to tear you down to pieces destroy you and everything you stand for, just for their own satisfaction. Sometimes you are put in a position where people are jealous of what you have, what you are doing, what you stand for, etc. Is it okay for us to ask you to expand upon that? We think that our readers might gain some inspiration by your story. You also spoke of how your life changed forever by something that challenged your dreams.
You’ve spoken of coming from a life of means and privilege that has afforded you great opportunities. Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet Sukesha Ray! Imagine my surprise when I learned that my admired artist was also a musician! Some of those variations in her style even boast street cred, showing qualities that you might see in the most beautiful mural art…or graffiti. Her many types of specialisations and varieties of styles speak of her flexibility and ability to adapt. It speaks professionality by it’s discipline. When I arrived, I was mesmirised on not only how legit her art was, but how legit it was in different circles.
By an off-chance passing on Tumblr of mutual likes, I found today’s artist’s site.
