My Bio
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!

anything I can get my hands on
I believe in a better world. One that everyone works together for the common good of all humanity. Racial, social, and economic barriers are blurred. A world where the passion for life is freely expressed through everything we do.  Don't get me wrong I don't believe in a world without some form of conflict because without conflict we cant grow, we become stagnant and die. There will still be struggle and pain but humanity will work together to help each other over come and carry on. Let go of the thoughts that what others think matters step out of the shadows and let your voice be heard. I know I am not the only one that believes in this wor
