What got you started in art?
I cant really say honestly....Come to think of it all my talents is in the art field. I was always the guy that would just constantly doodle in class while the teacher is explaining the answer to life. I never was a straight a student unless it was in my art classes. It was a stress reliever for me. I wanted to become a football player but do to injuries and I jammed my middle finger. I picked up the pencil again because it just feels right. I guess art just chose me in a way.
What inspires you as an artist to be creative?
I think the world still has some beautiful moments and things you need to experience. For a artist the world is a living moving artwork in itself. Me living and people around me and places I have gone and things that I have done and yet to do gives me creativity.
What are some of your achievements?
My achievements are really...not achievements for most people at all. I haven't gotten any awards or prizes. My achievements are the little things. I felt like I accomplished something getting myself a liecense haha. But just things like that open up me going places and talking to people I wouldn't have before. But little things like that builds me up like a pebble rolling down a hill sooner or later that thing turns to a rock and than soon a boulder. Just to constantly grow as a person is my achievement. So you can do with that answer as you will haha.
How long have you been doing your art work?
I've done art work for a while since I could remember. I stoped at fifth grade, but doodled in class when I was bored. After my 11th grade year, the same year I played football I picked up the pencil again in my senior year of high school. Constantly drawing since than.
Where do you see your self going in five years?
In five years I honestly don't know where I see myself. I never plan anything in my life really. Any way my the wind blows with me. I hope Im doing great artwork-as a job, surrounded by the same great people Im around now and just happy to be honest.
Something you've always wanted to do, but have yet to?
Something I always wanted to do and have yet to do is fall in love with someone who loves me back the same way. Thats my main goal in life, love and happiness. Other than that I want to go to other countries, go to a wrestling event, own a pet duck, and find a meditation mountain with a monk who teaches me the secrets of life haha.
Favorite quote or quotes?
My favorite quotes I have a friend of mine that says this quote like "Get it in there!!!" haha. One of my all-time greats is"I don't want a million girls I just want one."Fifth Element reference. Theres alot but I dont want to kill you.
The moment you realized you were an artist?
Well I still don't know honestly but I just can't see myself doing anything else. It goes back to school when a speaker comes and ask everyone what they wanted to be when they grow up. Instead of me saying policeman or doctor and stuff like that I would always answer artist while still doodling in the back of the class haha.
