About Mizuflare
a.k.a. Joshua
Statement
I aim to create art that tells a story, that guides you through a series of events. My work involves applying fantastical elements to situations and circumstances found in reality. I enjoy taking the contrast of the real and the fantastic to interesting conclusions through my art. I aim for emotion in my pieces above all else while also making the ride from beginning to end coherent and tangible. My goal is to have my audience be able to reach the end of my story as an experience worth having.
