Who am I?
I work in the I.T. field in Gulfport. I’m 32 and married with no kids, but a dog we are trying to housebreak and a cat who just started on diet cat food.
I have been creating things for as long as I can remember.
My drawings went from normal kid stuff to trashy prepubescent cartoons to trashy teenage cartoons upward and onward to straight up H.R. Geiger rip offs, then I finally fell into my own style of viscious cross hatchings that took 3 pens to complete. Now Graffiti, tattoos, indie comics, “outsider”, underground and lowbrow art all have molded a drastic change to colorful abominations in boring everyday situations. the cool thing is I can always revisit the old phases of creation I passed through to get to what and where I am today.
This whole color thing is still relatively new to me. I am still hashing things out with it. I always was just a pen and ink, graphite guy until I got into graffiti a few years back.
Graffiti really helped me to simplify my stuff. After all there is a need to be quick and still have something look good. I made up for loss of detail by adding color to the stickers I would make. I’m not saying i ever did anything illegal or anything, but I was and am really happy with the evolution of graffiti art in the world.
I hate to call myself an artist. I don’t feel like one. I feel more like a guy that happens to draw or paint or sculpt or whatever I am doing at the time. That might even free me up a little bit to do what I want.
I don’t think art is really something that can be defined so much as you just kind of know it is. Music, cooking, painting, poems, and more all qualify to me. It can be and is everywhere you look in life. It can’t be helped.
I paint, draw, sometimes sculpt, play music and cook. I play the electric bass and the banjo. I never follow the recipe when I cook. My visual art is what it is and my sculpture is the same way.
I like to see new art. I know it’s not easy to get your stuff spread around. I want to put your stuff on my site.
The more people who are up on ArtHouseMouse.com, the more publicity we all get.
Send me your stuff now.
