Guru. Dreamer. Creative. Architect of my life.
The basics.
Designed in California, I'm a freelance digital art, design & media professional in San Diego and Los Angeles with focuses on photography, music, and digital media art and profound interests in film and illustration. I blend my artistic talents, academic knowledge, industry experience, my unique, colorful imagination and drive with modern, innovative technology, style, and a dash of life's wisdom to create fresh new ideas, concepts and experiences that inspire others, change lives, hearts + minds and revolutionize.
Eccentric, charming and BOLD sense of humor; I love life for all it's worth and the people I surround myself with. I enjoy sketching, writing music, producing and editing films, social mingling & flirting, impeccable fashion, modern gadgets, sharing profound thoughts and conversations with others and playing guitar since age 6. Other passions + interests include learning new languages, cooking and sharing incredible food, Kenjutsu and other martial arts, Samba and world drumming, baseball, soccer, and discovering the world. I have love affairs with history, astronomy, philosophy, humanities, nature and science.
I spend countless hours seeking, discovering and quenching my never-ending thirst for all knowledge while hoping to coincidentally discover the meaning of my own existence.
Yea, I also think I'm a nut. But ahh, there's a method to my madness.
In depth.
My mind, body and soul function on knowledge, life, inspiration, wisdom, creation and love. I'm a dreamer. A thinker. A life enthusiast. I have a story to tell.
'To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but to believe.'
Anatole France
As an innocent child, I would dream and wonder. As a young man, I was curious and inspired. Today as an grown man, I reach for the stars and I live out my dreams.
My heart has always told me I was meant for something more. It's a feeling... a sense. I don't know what this destiny of mine holds, I just know it's there. Whatever it is, like a fire inside, it keeps me going. Everyday I summon every ounce of my courage, pride and I bravely, yet at times foolishly, face my uncertain future. On the inside, I'm terrified.
Whatever fate brings to me on that day, I'll understand, know what it all has meant and know what to do. I'll be ready.
Until then, I collaborate thoughts and share insight. I seek to enlighten, inspire and empower. To spark imaginations. To give the power to choose and the wisdom to question. To open eyes + hearts + minds. I want to change the world. To push the human race forward.
'My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.'
John Lennon
I take my own life one day at a time and without any regrets. No regrets, because I wouldn't be the man I've become and accomplished all that I have if I had made a different choice. If my choices hurt anyone along the way, I'm profoundly sorry, but I don't regret anything.
I live in the moment, because we only live once. I don't believe in impossibility & abide by limitations. Anything is a possibility. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
I refuse to fear the world, even if I don't understand some of it. I challenge myself to understand. I'm open, not ignorant. I don't believe. I think.
'Let the world change you... and you can change the world.'
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara de la Serna
'The believer is happy, the doubter is wise.'
Irish proverb
Karma has brutally shown me there are lessons to be learned from every experience. Fate has taught me that to achieve dreams, we have to take risks. Dreams are never free.
My plan: Change a life and live it all - one day at a time.
My methods: Revolutionary, unorthodox.
The result: Change the world.
'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Explore. Dream. Discover.'
Mark Twain
I see things beyond the surroundings and think outside the box. I'm different and that's super. Yea, you may disagree with me but hey, fuck you too.
'Be who you are and say what you want, because those that mind don't matter... and those that matter don't mind.'
