     What's up y'all?  Detect some southern twang?  Actually most people think i'm from up north.  Maybe I just listen to too much hip hop..ha..anyway, i've been drawing since 4th grade; seriously, anyway, after getting hooked on ninja turtles.  The urge to do so would come and go, and it became quite a while after until i started to feel comfortable adding color into my work.  That only came through colored pencils, and only because i felt comfortable with pencils anyway.    My acrylic and watercolors up-to-date had been very rigid throughout high school and after, so it wasn't until i became introduced to graffiti in 2004 that my inhibitions became less of an object.  I became way more comfortable with the use of color and various mediums, and have painted murals, a van, and a barn since.  In addition to t-shirts, canvas, and many other areas that i had never dabbled in before, i feel more secure in my talent; notsomuch, however, in my business savvy...      I have stumbled across this website in an effort to reach out into the online/art community, and i hope that the sketchbook library project will be fruitful and inspiring.  I look forward to meeting other artists, learning, growing, and having fun..Peace!
