About Me

I'm a 4th year illustration major at California State University Long Beach. In theory I'm an Artist, but in practice I'm a dishwasher. Like other artists I have been involved in art making all my life. I taught myself to draw until I was in high school age, then in college I took courses in painting, design and presentation. I like drawing and painting, I also enjoy working digitally with numerous graphics applications. I won't post art here but below are samples of work.
imperial valley arts --- bio sheet

deviantart --- recent work

My Interests

The intersection between technology, religion, dream like surrealism, and social issues.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone. Artists, Art appreciators, friends, collectors, and curators; be they for solo shows contests or grouped shows. Also prospective clients for comission work. And independently any recepient of the mcarthur grant so that he or she nominates me for one. [har.har.] If you are looking for talent feel free to friend me and message me.
I would also like to invite and encourage artists to post their art here I just ask that it be kept to one pic per comment.
