Artist bio

Grew up in a christian family, so of course that meant reading all of the Bible. Parents bounced me between public and homeschooling. Graduated public highschool and went to college where I got my associates in Graphic Design. I am turning 33 this year, recently went through an unfortunate divorce with my wife of 5 years, moved to Illinois which is a different than Texas where I grew up. Growing my graphic design business, and youtube channel (godsquestion). I've worked several other jobs in the past including contracting, maintenance, freelancing, and customer service. I would be a mess without God and all the opportunities He has provided in His loving but mysterious plan. Ephesians sticks out to me now that I have lived through some of what life entails. 2 Timothy reminds us that we are in the end times, and Ephesians is useful for guarding ourselves against the onslaught of evil, found evident in the acts of all humanity. I know for sure that I would not have been able to get this far in life without His help and guidance. Every day has within it new opportunities to learn and grow.

Artist Statement

I stayed, when I wanted to leave this life I looked to God and persevered through my trials. Video content is recorded by myself over various walks in the state of Illinois since going through and finalizing my divorce. Those walks really saved my life. I went to college for Graphic Design, and artwork is created both by hand and edited on photopea.com. All video content, music, and artwork was created and edited by myself. Music created on bandlab, and you can download it and others at: https://www.bandlab.com/mytthio

How it fits into contest

Every day is a spiritual battle, some days more than others. Without the strength of God backing me up through multiple types of adversity, I would not have gotten through such dark suicidal times of my life. Persevering past what I thought my limits were I discovered there was more to life than what I thought. Equipping God's armor I continued on discovering others that had gone through similar trials and assisting them in what ways I could. Pouring my feelings into art and connecting with God through walks in nature, seeing the complexity and beauty of his creation I find myself in this contest and am blessed to be here.

Credits

Everything was created by myself. But I give thanks for God's blessings, without which this would have never existed.
