Wow This year went by fast. I'm still alive and well. Settled back home in San Diego, California and I couldn't be happier. I've been creeping around here every now and then, but I wouldn't be surprised if I lost a lot of followers on here as I have not updated anything in a long time. Reason being, I decided to put my art on hold as I got my life together. I have done some tattoo designs and some photography here and there, but I haven't really touched a canvas or paint. But fear not, I could never give up on my art, as it is a MAJOR part of me and my life. I have ideas written down on scraps of paper, visions craving to be slathered on a type of canvas, writings to be heard, and lots of hope to instill in you. I am somewhat of an art director at where I work and I will be presenting many works from all walks of life. I will be exhibiting new work as well come September, and it will be in the likes in which I've never done before. I'm not giving away too much but just know that my art has evolved into a state of consciousness that makes me feel... safe, unyielding, bold, and clarifying. Where I know that this is where I need to be. This is who I want to be. And this is what I share to you and the world. Again thank you to all who have supported me this far in life. You have my heartfelt gratitude and sincere apologies for leaving you in the dark this long. The world is ours and tonight we burn like the stars that never die...
