Artist. Dreamer. All Around Nice Guy.
I've been drawing for as long as I can remember even as far as getting me that 'formal training.' I went to school at the University of Arizona's Art Department, Visual Communications Program (Illustration Emphasis) where I learned the most of my trade and quite possibly spent the best years of my life so far. I miss college from time to time but I'd do nothing to repeat the whole thing again. Though I consider myself an artist, I strongly consider myself in this particular order:
Gamer first, martial artist second, illustrator third, and music enthusiast last.
I love. LOVE gaming. I'm not as competitive as I used to be so I don't find myself in on too many shooters or anything of the sort anymore but I do love me a long game of Fallout 3, Fable 2, Mass Effect and any other single player type RPG (excluding nearly ALL and every Final Fantasy however). I've a rich history with most games, their console systems belonging and think of myself more as a video game historian than a gamer though I know how to put up my own when it comes down to it. Right now I'm in the regrets of trading in one of my most favorite games of all time, GRID. I LOVED that game! Stupidest move on my part to have ever dropped it-- hands down one of the best racers out there. Period.
Martial artist, yeaaah to be honest it's not as strong as I used to purge myself to. That sort of thing got me into alot of trouble as kid where I'd usually go around looking for fights thinking that would help improve my skills. I wasn't a bully, I never picked on anyone-- it was more they'd pick on me and I'd have to defend myself. ALOT. Growing up I was always a small, frail looking kid with a big punch. It's sort of changing now though I still look pretty thin but I can throw some weight around when the challenge presents itself. I tend to try and prove myself alot, not because I want to, but because most of the time I have to. No one takes me all that seriously, probably worse to that is that some people, more than most, think I'm a slacker. I won't lie. I procrastinate but it's not because I don't want to do anything, I just enjoy my sweet time to do it hahaha.
Music, gawwwsh I love music! Pretty sure before I was even born my dad must've stuck headphones to my mom's belly just so I could be musically tuned in because I next to never have music NOT playing. My ear drums are on a constant 24/7 audio binge and it's been like that for as long as I can remember putting headphones into my own ears. Much like gaming, I've a pretty deep grasp of music's history, particular origins of significant cultures tied in with them and my range from music appreciation ranges all the way from classical, rock, funk, jazz, techno-- you name it, I've probably been in and out of it, subgenres included. So to most people, it amazes them that I'll be listening to Bill Withers one minute, 808 State the next, CJ Bolland another, Blind Guardian or Dream Evil right after all the way to Erik Satie and Mozart symphonies all within a matter of half an hour. I don't do it as much now but I've been prone to sticking to one genre of music then switching up a little after. There's only ONE genre I cannot sate my tastes to however, and that being country. I'm sorry, I just CAN'T stand that genre no matter how I try or listen in on it, I just can't. It doesn't help I live in Tucson either where a majority of these people will listen to country but eh, what're you gonna do?
Also, as one can notice, I tend to ramble. I do that alot really. When I was younger I had no such 'problem'. In fact, my biggest problem was that I didn't talk enough, or smile, or laugh... the creature I am today is nothing like the angry, serious-notied little bastard I was more than years ago and feel ashamed to even consider such memories. But such is with growing up, right? Yeah...

Before I graduated from art school there was one last 'test' that my mentor gave me, the whole class in fact, before we'd officially be released into the wild. The test involved coming up with at least 15 artists you know based on their potential for having inspired you and give you the vision you might claim as an artist. I often keep this list to myself but I think if people knew just where I got my own vision from, maybe they'll have a much deeper appreciation for what I do, who I am, where I come from and why I do what I do.

Guys I've a confession to make of myself. Because it's out of my hands, God seems to be pushing me to my absolute limits of this mortal shell and the love of my life, my wife, is just about the reaches of her patience with me... no I'm not getting divorced or anything; the fact being that we've just gone through a year (successful, or not), a whole year, of marriage says alot... but some things have gone awry as of late. So this is gonna be the last time you'll see anything of me coming around these parts. A kind of semi-permanent, if not indefinite permanence of absence from here.
Could be for the best, and to prevent the worst.
Maybe it'll do me some good all together.
But in the end, I have to stay far far away and seek myself elsewhere and fix alot of things I've messed up on which may or may not have stemmed from here directly, or as a result, indirectly from a culmination of vague nuances and disappointments from multiple parties and crude, false expectations.
No more submissions, no more livestreams or JTV to be seen since it'll all be hopeless experiences; I've just got to get away.
I'm a coward, a snake, a loser, an underpaid employee to a job I should have left long ago but can't now with hopes of pursuing anything else seeming fruitless and hopeless right now; I've just got to find a way out and moving in the right direction. Which at this point, can be anywhere, anything, any time it seems, but I just have to get moving.
Maybe one day I'll come back. I won't stop doing what I love doing, but you won't see much of it around here for a while. How long it'll take, I'm not sure. I'm not sure I want to know but I know when it comes and it'll feel right.
This'll be the last time I take a look at this too. I'll most likely log out, close this browser, dwell for a little and figure out what it is I need to do and how I'll get there, when I can get there, if I can get there. But in the mean time, I've alot of things I need sorted out before I can come back, if I come back, and say, "Everything's great!" But right now... it's not. And it won't be for I don't know how long.
I've alot needing sorted out and I've been working at it for months now. Hence the random disappearance from a much more darker purpose that's came about and pulled a dark cloud over my house which refuses to subside and break sunlight. Alot to correct... and alot to reflect on.
It's been months now but the results are still the same. Right now they seem to be anyway. So until then-- it was fun (and tragic) while it lasted but I'll be out and about. I won't be completely gone. For those of you who know where to find me and where to look, you'll find me there. I just won't be here.
It's been interesting to say the least but it's all got to come to a close for now until I can formulate another chapter in this story... I'll see you guys when I see you.
Right now, I need to keep telling my wife I love her, seek a much better opportunity of employment, get these bills paid, this family future set, a career to be had-- a whole lifetime of events needing put on the right path and actually started.
Until then, I've gotta get out and figure out what this is all about and get it sorted.
