I love to create art that makes me feel something, sometimes funny, sometimes crazy. I am a creator & I also have my own tattoo studio. :)

My favorite art is the kind that lives with people—tattoos, paintings, anything with soul. I create across all mediums, but skin is the most powerful canvas. It’s where emotion, story, and identity become permanent. Also, I have videos of the murals that CJay aka Dek ( from the History of American graffiti & Miami graffiti books) and I collaborated together, but I couldn’t upload them here. I think people still like graffiti art! :)
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspo all around me :) most of the time ideas are always popping into my head as I’m painting; a lot of times, I end up changing it to something different than what I started painting. I found out that I share the same birthday as Salvador Dali & for some reason I feel peace in knowing that as I’m a unique individual myself :) My boys also inspire me…they’re friken hilarious. :) my daughter Suzette is gifted & an artist as well; also on the spectrum. There’s never a dull moment!
What would you do with $25,000?I would be/am super grateful & Thank the Lord & Jonny for all his hard work, then I will buy this old house that’s for sale & renovate it as it’s all bones right now with cool tiles, stained glass windows, and a cool staircase. I’d be able to paint the whole inside :D It’s only $99,000, but 25k would be a good down payment, it was built in 1946. Also build an outside catio for my cats.
