About Me

I was born and raised in Boulder Colorado. I go to college at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver BC. I am majoring in general fine arts but would like to become a graphic designer as well as an artist and musician. When I'm done at ECIAD I plan to move back to Boulder, maybe take a few design classes, make music with my hip-hop band (Audible Audities) and continue making art.I feel that having a truely open mind is one of the most important things in life. Many people say that they are open minded but when their views are challenged they are unwilling to budge. It is important to be open to any and all possibilities, to accept the fact that you could be wrong about everything you hold as true and always be willing to see the other side.I'm promiscuous, ridiculous yet serious when spittin' this. My inconspicuous lips rip continuous wickedness. From written hits to hidden bits I'd rather gather subtle hints on the matter. With confidence I'll leave you shattered and battered just like forgotten monuments. But when the melody hits, I come to grips with all the troubles and struggles that I'm: young, dumb, full of cum, full of rum and full of all the substances that make me think I'm having fun.
