About Me

I am currently a graduate student at University of Nebraska in Lincoln, working on my Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing. I have been given the title of a figure painter by my pears, but I see myself more as an Illustrator of emotions. I was born in Guatemala and moved to the states when I was seven, did most of my growing up years in Champaign Illinois, which I call my hometown. I have been told that I am outgoing and very liberal in my views, a problem that seems to get me in trouble on a daily occurrence. I view the world though an artist prospective and I seem to always be framing daily activities as paintings. I am a proud father of a three-year-old daughter, which seems to also be my #1 Monster of my life. I love the outdoors and all its powerful beauties. In the fall, if you can’t find me in the studio you will find me in the woods. I am a hunter and do feel the necessity to be a predator in the woods.MySpace layout created at Hypergurl.

My Interests

I am really into a lot of different interests at this point in my life. In many cases I have an extreme verity of hobbies, passions and goals. As an art major one of my key passions is art. I like all forms of art from illustration to sculpture. Some artist that I enjoy studding at this moment are; Kent Bellows, Joseph Cornell, John Singer Sargent, Philip Pearlstein, Chuck Close, Lucian Freud, H.R. Gigger, Simon Bisley, Luis Royo and many others. I am at the moment studding and developing my skills in oil painting and drawing. My oil painting is very basic with a development of under painting and then glazing. I am focusing more on still life’s and portraits. Tattooing has always been a favorite of mine; having a few I have become found of them. In many ways I have become a consultant for people looking to get a tattoos from giving advice, sketched out images (flash art) and concept ideas. I am also hopping to add on and decorate more of my skin, soon! I have also become passionate with the outdoors. I love to hunt and just experiencing the outdoors in all of its glories. In fall you will find me in the woods most of the time. I am a strong believer that the outdoorsmen is and should be an avid naturalist and environmentalist. I do not hunt what I don’t eat, so if you plan to visit be prepared to eat wild game and natural food that was not raised in a pin. I also enjoy history and science. I love to read and watch anything dealing with educational merit, which covers about everything! The Fibonacci sequence in Tool's L.ateralus:.. Get your own badge
