My space: Hello, to whoever reads my blurb. I’m a 25 years old, San Franciscan. Originally, from El Salvador; my family and I moved to this big little city when I was 4, there was allot of hard time throughout our journey to the USA... big struggle was escaping from the 1980’s war that President Regan aided to “help our country†El Salvador was having it’s own war from the start due to cruelty of humans. Lost of destruction in the country El Salvador from the 70’s to mid 80’s. The smell of bloods still lingers in our country after this time. People become berserk and reacted only on survival.
Growing up in SF has been fun for the most part; In order to survive you kind of have to be on your toes. There is allotting of oddness and creativity that can easily persuade you from your main path onto directions of life you never quite understood, but somehow got lost. I aim to have a simplistic life that tends to complicate it self on its own. My motivations that keep me going are my family ( genetic and non-genetic) the people I love and cherish in my heart, the art work that comes out of mind and onto my finger which I interpret with a medium I desire & feel it will breath too. Most of all living and being able to function, to seek my own worth, my own adventure. To find answers, creating questions I will use in my life storing a book called experiencing through wisdom. I’m a great friend loyal, outspoken, playful, and cheerful. Crabby when hungry, stubborn, affectionate, a risk taker to the end. I normally sing to the beat of my drum, but it has been changing its tune allowing for other melodies to play.
I’m an illustrator and a blade runner, who has a fascination with pirates, Mayan culture and fashions throughout history to the present. I also, enjoy working in all mediums of art I tend to stick to water color and marker due to a charm & quality I tend to find with the colors; how it tends to play with paper and the not so popular use of it. Otherwise I will make any other utensil work. My illustrations can go from realism to surrealism. Whatever tickles my fancy or see the picture suited best in I go with. For comic illustration my work has an anime flavor with influences of many American artist and both illustrator and painters. AS for Blade running, I cut both men and woman’s hair, I haven’t done children… as of yet. But I’ve cut pet’s hair or trimmed. (My dog. And friends. LOL)
Again nothing stops me; I’m not against or feel, I have limitations on what I can do. I do have ignorant and learning dilemmas that can delay me, but not an issue that can’t be resolved. I don’t let fear stop me from my goals. (I do get scared and crawl into bed and cuddle with my teddy!) I plan to make great friends on this site on a personal and work related level. Feel free to chat me up. On art, the weather, any thing that burn’s your potato.
