About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to experience! And to seek out and utilize influences in my artmaking.

ABOUT ME

I am constantly creating. Whether it is physically in my artmaking, or mentally within my thoughts. I enjoy meeting people and learning new things, having meaningful discussions, all the while gaining content and influence for my main focus in life; my art. I consider it my outlet to the world, and i hope my talent and hard work will allow it to one day reach many.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that all people should be given the same opportunities in life. This life one Earth is the only one we have and is not a test or secondary to one after. What is important to me is giving back everything we take from this planet, and then some.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, all kinds. Folk, indie, blue grass, punk thrash, hardcore and alot of underground hip-hop. usually everything i listen to doesn't ever play on the radio.
