Background story:
"Since I was a 5, I would get goosebumps watching anime missile dancing (Itano Circus) Art Deco, and anything well designed.
As an adult I still want to get goosebumps watching anime missile dancing, Art Deco, and anything well designed. "
Future dream:
"A kick ass career creating commercial art and underground art that inspires and moves other artists. In process of fusing toy art, pin up, tattoo, graffiti, fashion illustration, sci fi, anime, traditional painting, and latin subject matter into one style I call rice and beanz."
Favorite artist:
"Antonio Lopez (late fashion illustrator of the 60's, 70's 80's)"
