About me:
HERES A FEW RANDOM FACTS... I got a motorcycle for my 3rd birthday (daredevil training). I had an official New York City Breakers fold-out breakboard (yeah I bought into the commercialization of NY hip-hop culture around 83-84). Got in trouble for a Circle Jerks t-shirt on photo day in 7th grade. Rode a skateboard for 17+ years (I suppose I bought this fad too, apparently I was impressionable back then, blame Gator). Built stuff for fun, still do, there is no greater joy than creation. Attended classes a little between riding Skateboards, wreckin' shit on a BMX Bike and Making Art. Failure is the greatest teacher. Used to fuck the drums up back in compton. I dabbled in screen printing with the ease of graphic design for a year in Ohio. Back to Sculpture, REAL ART!
Who I'd like to meet: People who make me better, people who have something to say, people with momentum. People who don't live on the death of animals. Other Artists, Musicians, free-thinkers and certainly anyone interested in buying art, collectors, galleries...
