About Me


check out my HipHop search engine. Just click on the turhan ask Turhan
I'm a freelance artist with a degree in fashion design. I'm also a self taught oil painter and photographer with special emphasis in the music industry.
Artistic individuals reside on both sides of my family tree. I remember taking my first photo of my mother when I was six years old. I used my dad's Instamatic camera. My uncle taught me how to blend crayon colors together by using a low heat when I was six. I have memories of my aunt taking me to her college art classes around the same age. That was the foundation of my art training. My formal art training started when I was in sixth grade and progressed to include photojournalism and yearbook editing by high school.
I believe that I inherited my sense of fashion from my mother. She taught me how to sew on a machine an early age. She would have me measured all the time for new suits. I was shy, well-mannered, little kid that the ladies thought was so cute. I liked the attention I received. I believed that eventually led me to pursue a career in fashion design.
I know that God is real and that he has blessed me with a talent. I'm old enough to understand that everyone has God-given talents but not everyone exploits there talents to the fullest.
If you would like to exploit my talents as well hit me up. Just remember nothing is free. I learned that from my dad too.
