dual passions Twin brothers share interest in career path
S
eth and Ethan Johnson, Henderson freshmen, are twins who share a passion for art. The brothers have been creating art together since they were young. Seth says most of his earliest memories have to do with them drawing. “I’ve been drawing my entire life alongside my brother, so I guess we’ve built off each other’s skills to improve ourselves,” Ethan said. When asked what motivates them for their artwork, Ethan says he doodles in his spare time to see if subjects he is interested in evolves out of that. ”When I was younger, I used to draw out of boredom, but now-adays, if a particular subject interests me enough, I get motivated
to see what I can do to recreate it on paper,” Seth said. Both Johnsons say their favorite type of art to create is surrealism. Ethan said that the goal behind his art is not only to be appealing to the public, but to inspire them to create works of their own. ”The goal I would like to accomplish with my art would be to entertain people,” Seth said. “I don’t want people to be bored looking at it.” After many years of doing art together, the Johnsons look back and decide what their favorite pieces were. Seth said he personally does not have a favorite piece. “My favorite pieces are all that I’ve done with prismacolor colored pencils,” Ethan said. The Flare Magazine • ART • 27
