collecting vinyl records,vintage toys,sports memorabilia and a nice game of chess.oh and dazzle you with brilliance!

I am self taught,not by choice,although my art comes natural from fathers blood.He was a great artist, and taught his technique on landscapes.I enjoy working with all media,experiementing as much as I can.Grew up in suburbs of Los Angeles,in a great town called Whittier.Been doing great things on paper canvas,glass,murals,pumpkins,cars(rods n lowriders),wood,statues,houses,rooms,people,bikes,hospitals,schools,sometimes sand, ever since I could remember.Took Technical Illustration course at Rockwell Intnl.(they made space shuttle).Only two of us were chosen from my High school,wich was an honor.Made my art teacher proud,even though he lied about all the drafting courses you had to ace to get me in.Wish he would've shared that tiny detail with me beforehand! Guess he saw potential.Passed it thought it might be a future til that company left the same year.Had art shows and sold to kids and old couples on vacation and any art lovers delites.Teachers would take works and put on display at colleges up north at universities and I didnt care if it sold or got ribbons.Truth is I grew up with a hood where a gangmember was idolized and if you to be schooled by them it was considered an honor.Problem was everyone found out that nobody is bullet proof,including myself,wich was a chapter I am not proud of.This is no sobb story just a funfact art lovers can read.I have learned that we could easily see through others but we should actually see them through! If I can bring happiness through my work,than I can be happiest.If I can make a feeling come to all that words can no longer describe than I can look back and smile.Who feels it knows it! This website is to help art lovers from all walks and all corners,I would rather read how my works make you feel and input if you wish.When I would sell my art in public people didnt want to believe I did them.I would have to be putting on an exhibition for them.Here you'll see my work and believe me I have so much to share.To those who have givin me reviews I THANK YOU very deeply.Soon I will put out more.I try and reply and review but I type with my thumbs.I'm glad everyone took typing in school:)
