Now, Davon is a full-time artist. Davon started body painting two years ago, working with oil paint for three years and has been doing pastel portraits for 12 years. He says he is inspired by his life, the passion for all things beautiful and music. When painting he is inspired by the music he listens to. Davon says he listens to classic piano solos when doing murals. Nas is his all time favorite to paint pictures to and R&B is always soothing when doing abstracts.
When asked what makes him stand out, he says "I stand out because I don't fit in... I stand out because I'm willing to push the envelope". With the desire to be great as his motivation, Davon wants to work with Chris Brown when it comes to spray painting and working with someone in his field.
When it comes to goals, Davon works hard to sell a $50,000 painting and to paint a painting that will shock the world.
How do you really know this guy has a passion deeply rooted in painting and art? He has a tattoo of a canvas and paintbrush on his left forearm. So yea, he's pretty serious.
Don't just limit him to art though, Davon has a little poetry under his belt and his starring in a play next month. But clearly painting is his first love.
Favorite Quote: "Maybe I can't win. Maybe all I can do is take what he's got. But to beat me, he's gonna have to kill me. And to kill me , he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's gotta be willing to die himself." -Rocky Balboa
