"Ya Ta Say!" - (Greetings/Hello) to all my Fellow Rocking Artists, Friends, Family and Future Gravenone’s alike!
You have successfully voyaged to the intriguing and inspiring world of GRAVEN RAVENWOLF and I say thank you. It is a pleasure to meet everyone. I look forward to getting to know you all in time if you wish it. Allow me to explain the complexity of which I am and take the journey to witness the innate being that I am growing to be in this life. First of all I am a growing FATHER, ARTIST, FRIEND, STUDENT, TEACHER and SHAMAN. All of these facets I learn and gain more knowledge in everyday. There are so many reasons to be all of them that I strive vigorously to apply these areas to my life. I am sure that if you are reading this intro you can relate to one of the above positions in your life. As I am sure some of you carry a multitude of those titles also. In that I say to you all embrace it…become who you are always meant to be in this life and never falter.
As a “FATHER†I am excited to say that I have 2 handsome and beautiful boys Chase Alexander (7) and Xander Rayne (4). They continue to grow me as a father and teach me appreciation for who they are and what I can be for them. I am happy to journey this life with them. My love and compassion for them as a father is unparalleled and uncompromising. I will always be there for them and thankful for them.
As a “ARTIST†I have been creating art for years in anyway imaginable and possible. Art can be created through the canvas or through life and how you affect the people around you. I would like to think that I have the ability to impact most to appreciate the art that is who they are and can be. People are beautiful and captivating works of art. We just need our canvas to be painted upon. As far as my artist endeavors they are many and vast. I work with Pen & Ink, Pencil, Berol Primacolor Markers & Color Pencils, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator and graphic design applications. I am still intermediate in some of the above styles but I am always learning more everyday as an artist in these mediums. My life has opened many doorways to great people and opportunities to help me be a better person and artist and I am truly grateful. I have also had the luxury of saying that I work in the Comic Book Industry, Have my own Graphic T-shirt apparel and merchandise company “SKEWED EYE Q, and have the esteem pleasure to help and manage other artists. One of which I am happy to call my artistic muse and girlfriend Monica Delgado. I also have my own set of personal Comic Book Projects that I have been developing for the last 16 years which are about to take flight with your help. You will see and hear more about that on Ravenwolf Studios as it progresses. My Goal and Infinite Dream to see my characters and stories entertain others for generations to come. Albeit in Comics, Graphic Novels, Movies, Cartoons, Video Games Etc., of course whatever medium that will have them.
As a “FRIEND†I always offer my ability to listen to what life throws our way so that we all can help make sense of it in order to live our lives to their fullest. I extend that to anyone who needs it. I make it my place to be there for all of my friends to my fullest extent. I am human though and can falter in this. But I still put forth my greatest efforts for them all.
As a “STUDENT†I know my place in this life and understand completely that we are all students and even when we become the TEACHER we are still the student. I wish more in life would understand this. The day we become complacent in being the Teacher not wanting to continue to learn we have allowed at that precise moment to let our EGO take over and have stopped growing as individuals. Fight this by all means I implore you. Never stop learning.
As a Humbled Modern Day “SHAMAN†I grow to understand the complexity of this universe that we dwell in and its insurmountable capabilities. I use my teachings and understanding to help navigate this life to enlighten all around me. It is not who I am, it is what I am and choose to do that defines me. I am not the final outcome just the tool to be used to help all who need building. I know my place and forever keep it for I walk the red road.
But ultimately I want you to know above all else that I am a person with Ambitions and Goals that I push for everyday of my life. I am always learning and growing to be a better at all of the above. I want my children to be able to look back on their lives and at their Father and say "Dad, I want to create something vast and unique to make a difference in my life and others like you did." So for that I work everyday to make that true for them. I know that if you are reading this you may feel the same way I do. So please push for your dreams as well. I want you all there by my side when my goals are met and yours as well. So we can all enjoy life for what it is. For in a world where Role Models are Scarce we are the Heroes!
Until next time good journey and keep creating
