I have been an artist as long as I can remember. I can truly harness my rage , anger, and sadness, then express it in a creation.

I love to do acrylic paints mixed with pen and ink on canvas . I love to experiment blending urban , tattoo, illustration and traditional painting together to create my own style that is a mix of my influences and experiences.
Where do you find inspiration?I have been a tattooer , Lucas film employee and fine artist. Out of these experiences, I find inspiration to create pop culture art, portraits, as well as original characters. I draw them from film , books, and long talks with friends .
What would you do with $25,000?I honestly would take my kids to their first theme park for the weekend, and then pay down debt so I could continue to do what I love with whom I love .
