About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
I was born in Miami Florida both of my parents are central Americans (Guatemala & Puerto Rico). I live in Miami for about 4 years before moving to Boston where my mother remarried. i went to school in Boston until i was 11 years old, then my parents finally decided to move to Dublin Ireland. I live here now.
I make a living doing odd jobs here and there, half working as a waiter and the other half doing graphics and 3d architecture. Yes, im a busy body! i draw and paint alot and use photoshop and 3d max to create some of my pieces.
I have a unhealthy fascination for machinery and technology. Its something that is constantly evolving. For me its art with function. And with this in the mix its capable of expressing itself better than any painting or movie. and what really fascinates me is the way computer and robotics evolve similar to nature itself.
Leonardo da Vinci's work amazed me and i guess i try to follow in his footsteps. trying to discover and understand the many avenues of life and humans are capable of.
Apart from that i spend most of my day daydreaming about stuff and things, eating of course, drinking tea & smoking the occasional J. Just waiting for the next big idea.
