I call myself a professional artist because I get paid for some of what I do but that is the extent of it. In my opinion there are no real professional artist, we all are learning more everyday, some just happen to make a living with it.
I am a tattoo artist, painter, sculptor, writer, and craftsman. I believe in truly free expression and try not to set limits for my art because it is part of me and I don't want to set limits for myself. It took me a while to realize this, but once I did happiness took hold.
I have a beautiful son Ezra James, he is my everything. I can only hope to be the man I need to be to be the father he deserves. I am a cancer survivor and I tried to not let that define me but recently realized that because of that experience in my life I am who I am today. I struggled for the last few years believing the cancer should have taken me from this world, but with the help of those I'm closest to I am back in the land of the living.
Silence no more, my voice will be heard!
