Born and raised in the heart of Southern California Is where i was introduced to my three major influences : Fine-Art, Skaters, & Chicano culture . As a Child I spent hours teaching myself to draw and paint. By the time Middle School came, I was taking classes at the local College and winning awards in competitions. My learning took place in a simmering bowl of culture, transforming my artistry into unique flavors. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to join the International School of Comics in Florence, Italy. During my four year residency in Florence I studied anatomy, concretely enabling myself to translate art into whatever genre my subject happens to be. My own distinctive style has evolved by collaging & merging these classical fine art teachings with modern art into a rare juxtaposition. This gift enables me to translate my clients life stories through fine line tattooing, leading a poetic indelible tribute to their own life experiences behind in ink. |
