More on Darrin:

Darrin Milliner, b. 1992, Aliquippa, Pennsylvania currently lives and works in Pittsburgh. His work focuses on finding the inspirational, educational, and empowering aspects of everyday life. Taking every opportunity to absorb various subjects that spark emotion and action, then bringing them to the forefront of his work, all in an attempt to highlight the importance of the separate worlds that surround each of us on a daily basis.

At his core, he is really just an artist or someone who is meant to create, whatever that may be. From a young age, he has always been creating and always exploring how to produce things that aren't already in existence. He doesn't think he'll ever stop doing that and he’s not sure if he ever can.
