Just a young man trying to make dreams a reality!
About Me:
Now that I'm 28 years of age, my outlook on life as well as my artwork has totally shifted. Back then, when I was just getting started in the art world, I barely had any direction. Usually, my artwork consisted of drawing cartoon characters and things of that nature. Quickly did this method change when I drew my first non-cartoon character and received boat loads of positive reviews from my friends and family. That's when it hit me like a boxer with his guard down! The idea came swift and without hesitation. Drawing cartoons was fun, but it was not my work and if I continued to do this, I would forever live in the original creator's shadow. Luckily for me, I picked this up at an early age. That's when I taught myself how to draw real people. The tricks that I picked up while relentlessly drawing cartoon characters such as The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and X-men, as well as a few others, helped the transition go smoothly. Not to mention that creative DNA imprinted in my mind and genes by two great artists, my lovely late mother Linda and the all-seeing creator; otherwise known as GOD. Formal training for me came as frequent as snow in California, and because of this, I had to rely on my eye to pick up techniques and styles that would eventually form my own. Ironically "my eye", the right one to be exact, is literally what I have to rely on due to a severe accident that had taken place when I was only five years old. I, a coat hanger, and just plain old bad timing are the reasons why my left eye is no longer useful when trying to draw detailed portraits. Did I let that stop me? If I were a lying man, I would quickly say yes, but my grandmother raised me better than that. All that accident did was ignite my passion to be that much greater. To be what most people would deem impossible. And that is an all-time great "one eyed" artist. As most of you will laugh along with me regarding my previous sentence, you must understand that when faced with a disadvantage or disability, sometimes it's best to laugh and embrace the pain. That is one method I live by each and every day. Call it a sort of spiritual reconciliation, so to speak. If I don't laugh and embrace the pain, it would swallow me up and spit me out into the world that never stops moving, even if I do. With that said, over the years, my pain has taken my imagination to heights previously thought impossible. And now, twenty odd years from the time of my accident, with no college education and no formal training, not only do I draw, but I write and "think" as well. I question everything and deny that I know anything. To me, an artist is at his best when he can hone in on true emotion and passion. That is why I always maneuver myself to the center of any debate or conversation that involves thinking. Sometimes I am the artist without the pencil and will create real life scenarios that will challenge the minds of anyone on any subject I choose. To me, this method helps exercise the mind and tends to be the main ingredient in my creative juices.
