About Me

Straight out of Long Beach's East Village Arts District comes an artist with a naive yet stubborn drive for perfection. Steven Amado (CHATISMO) is an up and coming painter/muralist currently working and exhibiting in the Downtown district."I always considered modern day life along with yesterday's myths, history and cultures to be the greatest forms of inspiration. They are what I feed from as an artist. The sole reason for being is to find new and toughtful means of creation, a new way to further that search within myself. To find the spiritual element that lies within everybody, to find it and release it". -(CHATISMO)

My Interests

Films, Museums, Bars, Restaurants, Concerts, Coffee Houses, Sight Seeing, Cigar Lounges, Conventions, Record Shops, Art Galleries..

I'd like to meet:

Other creative types who are out to make a difference who are out to make a scene.. To be heard to be seen. Other creative types that are out to make a change who want to express what they truly feel what they truly see.. Those who are tired and frustated with today's everyday ordinary modern day life. To reach out to get aligned with other creative types.. ion1_ctrlViewMorePics:hover{}.contactTable A IMG{}
