About Me

I was born in December 1983, LAC-USC General Hospital in the Boyle Heights area in Los Angeles, California. I was raised by my mother most of my childhood life and like other kids with single mothers in the hood, i grew up poor and around the most negative atmosphere you can think of. I've lived in Rialto in San Bernardino County, and the South Central L.A. & Huntington Park areas in L.A. in the past and now currently living in the Watts area South-East of the Los Angeles County.
I've been into Rap music since first moving to South Central L.A. in 1990 and i started doing graffiti in 1994 when i first started middle school at John Muir Middle School in South Central L.A. back when i only tagged from 1994-1998. I didn't start painting until the year 2000. Lastly, i've been an otaku since 1994 when i started watching Sailor Moon on public television before it was cancelled and moved to cable TV.
--------------------------------
By the way, this is not me, this is a picture of my dad before i was born. The reason i like this picture is because of the authencity this picture displays. During this time there was no such thing as computers, internet, digital cameras and so forth. This picture even shows a casette tape deck. Who can say they use tape decks anymore?

And these two anime characters are samples of my (and some of my favorite) artwork done with aerosol today.
