Many masters from all walks of life with different styles, from street to academics have taught me. I have been fortunate to travel, so it’s a worldwide training and experiences. From this I developed my type of art to express myself. Mostly my process starts with freestyle, whether it’s canvas, wall or clothing. Regardless the medium, the type of art I do is made for the moment and that gives me the freedom to adapt and melt into whatever inspires me.

My inspiration comes from my surroundings. In a live painting scenario, it’s the environment: the people, conversations, clothing, music, beats, and the theme of the event all influence my imagination. Other inspiration comes from mathematics, writers, scientists, philosophers, ancestors and whatever is happening in the world. As long as I feel, see and breathe I am inspired regardless if happy or sad. It all becomes part of my creating. My wife and kids are everything to me and inspire me .

The money would help take some wait off my shoulders, help pay bills so I can concentrate on creating. As artists we need to find other ways to make money while we try and make art. I give myself in every way to making art. This money would give me a little more freedom to keep going.
