Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Grant.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Eye started of drawing in the 3rd grade was influenced by dbz characters and girls lol.
Eye would later on continue to draw for a way to express and escape the harsh reality and my environment.
Many years later, I would learn about painting and artists such as Jean Michel Basquit, Michael Angelo and Salvador Dali.
My style was developed from a combination of this artist including my home town friend By the name of Donovan McRae and of course, Japanese anime.
Each piece that eye create tells a story of my life rather if it’s from my past present or how eye sees myself in the future.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
My biggest challenge was moving to Atlanta, Eye moved to Atlanta with $1100 in my pocket and a plan . Eye struggled and was homeless for the 1st two months but found so much inspiration and new meaning to life in that process.
Things are far from smooth eye feel like it’s a constant battle between continuing to create and stay relevant while dealing with worldly issues on top of that fighting for the youth and stressing the importance of being a creator takes a toll but someone has to do it lol.
