Airbrush Art, wall dog, cake decorating and Korean cuisine.

I am an airbrush artist who, coincidentally started as a cake decorator at Walmart. I then moved on to more "permanent" items to paint on, such as motorcycles and cars.

A "wall dog" is a muralist who basically paints "walls". One of my biggest achievements is the Merino Mural. Which I have started to refurbish and update some of the artwork.

I still enjoy decorating cakes. Fondant, airbrushing, buttercream work. I really enjoy the creativity.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Korean cuisine. Asian cuisine in general, but Korean in particular. Nothing like a bowl of jjajangmyeon to warm your tummy on a cold day, especially if the noodles are fresh cut. Then to wash it down with some meakju.
