No me chingues, como que no hay?

About Me

My duty in this world is to show society what we decent folks would rather not think about... all too personal, all too generic, all real. I was fortunate to study with some very good artists who very generously gave me tools to express my feelings while searching the collective subconcious of our time...but enough about me,what is your neglected fear?

My Interests

I love nothing more than painting and drawing. oil colours is my thing, but I have done lithographs and etchings with great success. I prefer to develop my own subject matter (allways a reaction to the world at large) but I also do commission work if the idea is original enough and the price right....my paintings deal frequently with heart aches, it seems bad relationships make for good art...oh well.

I'd like to meet:

other artists, ART COLLECTORS, poets, salsa dancers, evil genius type innovators, oh, and a guy to fix my refrigerator for free. img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f352/PINTORFEROZ/FREN CH1_DSC2-1.jpg"
