I've lost 2 little brothers in my life to tragedy. One to suicide and the other to mental illness. Neither was actually my paternal brother, but I was still their big brother. I've been carrying this drawing around for a long time looking for the opportunity to make it into a painting.
I have been aware of myself as an artist since I was 6 years old. Growing up I discovered Graffiti art and Hip Hop as a culture and made it my own. The counter establishment culture of Hip Hop and Graffiti gave me the confidence in my own vision that I needed to stay an artist. I had my formal training at Columbia College where I achieved my BA in Art and Design with a concentration in Advertising. I am now an artist and animator and have been working commercially for 8 years. In all these years of experience as an artist I have aspired toward a clarity of vision and a conciseness in communication with my viewer.
