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!
