BIOGRAPHY
Lets see.... where shall i begin ?
in a nutshell... lets finish off what most people start...
i never went to art school...
lol, i never even went to art class in grade school...
i dropped out-got my GED-and went to college for Criminal Justice of all things...
During this time i lost my drivers license due to my need for speed and constant trespassing and destruction of property tickets for snowboarding on private property in San Diego and Mammoth... so i had 6 hour gaps of time in between classes.... sooo, i sat and drew. 1 day i found a piece of charcoal near one of my classes and played with it for a bit... it was goiong nowhere when my ash from my cigarette dropped on my paper and when i wiped it away it gave me a whole new effect that i didnt know i could achieve... from there my addiction grew.... everything i saw or knew had to be drawn... and quickly my work showed what i admire most...
Woman... everything about a woman is beautiful to me... (even the constant mood swings that the girl i love goes through) it all has beauty in it to me.... sick? i know... i feel i find beauty in chaos, and what better place to find chaos... so, i drew...and drew... until i started to actually show interest in art itself ... i began to paint....and from there. i havent stopped... i cant...
if i dont have supplies where im at,i.e. coffee shop,dinner, bus stop... i'll use what ever i can get my hands on to make a mark on a piece of paper-board-napkin... whatever.
So here i am... addicted to something i know next to nothing about...
I paint the things i do as i see them... what ever my subject matter is i notice one thing about it and fixate on it... i let my heart fill in the rest... what ever is on my mind or in my heart distorts what i originally meant to draw or paint...
