  • When I was 2 years old is when I started to draw, and I have fallen in love with art ever since. In high school, I was heavily into designing and illustration, which led to opportunities in town with local bars and previous jobs utilizing my talent in art.
  • Throughout the years, I have created various custom projects, and I am still updating existing projects and executing new projects as they come.
  • Every day, I am creating new projects that can be potential for future art crawls or vendor opportunities.
