What is your favorite type of art to create?

Being a pale skin Latino ,I create art that inspires one to think beyond,I have a hundred pieces of artwork that I want to donate to a gallery or museum for future generations to see the resilience of a single parent of 3 kids gave to the world his best .Its been a life changing experience this far but I have so much more work to do for the love of art for future generations to come,I have never gave up my passion to dream and bring into fruition.The Best in the World is all I see and that’s me.

Where do you find inspiration?

I have been self promoting my artwork online since 2010 but no takers ,to win it all would be a major positive life changing event in my life that I have needed so bad to get back on my feet,I have a story behind my art worth telling.To this day I amaze myself of the artwork I do because it’s beyond this world.Connecting with many people has always been my way of life.,I set out to be a rock star but I gave that up 2B A Dad and here I am taking it all.its taken me 25 years to get recognize.

What would you do with $25,000?

I’ve never had that much money at one time,I have had many set backs in life for I never gave up first I would find a place to live it’s a long story then I would get back to work on drawing and painting where I left off 25 years ago, I’m having fun I love competitions ,success I will find, against all odds the turtle wins the raceDatsme, I try not to cry but I do sometimes I’m that guy,I thank UAll.I’ve dreamed of this all my life my big break with a big check to get me back on my feet .
