About Me



The three most important things in my life are ART-LOVE-TRAVEL. The ability to do all three all the time would be bliss.
I am an artist through and through. I live for and breathe creativity. My most passionate form of art is the fusion of functional sculptural structures that are surreal in form. I like to mix the aesthetics of art with practical use. I call it functional surrealism! I am inspired by Dr. Seuss, Tim Burton, Salvador Dali and films like Alice in Wonderland and Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. When I am creating I live in a world of pure imagination and everything that I dream up becomes reality.

My Interests

Art, love, Travel, Music, Nature, City loft style life, the artist community life, The wilderness of deserts, camping on mountains and in forests. The ocean life scuba diving and sailing. Extreme sports, Sateboarding in California skate parks, Health and exercise, and new adventures everyday.

I'd like to meet:

Positive motivated creative people.
I want to meet more artists that live and breathe their art. T.W.A. True Working artists and W.C.A. Working Class Artists that live for their passion and follow through with their goals and ambitions. Visionaries that broke out of the matrix and learned how to see with their their third eye. People that towards their ideas instead of throwing them around at other creative people. Artists that try to invent new ways instead of what they are trained to do. Self taught artists that rely on pure imagination. Artists that do endless amounts of experimentation and research. Communities of artists that work together and help each other succeed.

It was ran and operated by Punk rock chris of Miami Florida! My music tastes have become very broad as I got older and discovered more of life in general outside of any lebels or sub cultures.
