of facial expressions that were expressions that all people could identify with. These faces were done essentially as masks that I would have to wear depending on where I was or what I was trying to achieve, this took me years to finally realize but I started doing Art as a release, as a way to cope with my situations/experiences etc. If there was something that showed I had a proclivity to Drawing or Painting it would be the doodles I did from the time I was 11-present. If Not for doodles I would never have decided to paint. I always started with two eyes, and a nose, behind it and next to it were many other faces with different expressions and for the background I used two-tone black and white shapes as a way to tie it all together. To this date those doodles have been on display throughout the world however a close friend of mine has the remaining ones in her private collection.

My favorite artist is the one that refuses to listen to their fans, do what they believed was right, and has left a mark on society that has made it a better place, that being said. The art world based on the critics and the educators is a fucking disaster, so my favorite artist is the one who can affect the masses."

From the artists mouth

"My heart was initially set as a musician/writer, at 16 years old I had an experience that changed everything I had ever known. I composed a rock opera in the vein of the Jim Morrison American Prayer album combine with early pink floyd references in a Shine on Your Crazy Diamond type of way. As an aside to this day I do one painting of Syd Barret a year, and finish the final details to most pieces listening to shine on your crazy diamond. The only way to release what had built up inside was through visual art, however the vehicle that I chose without ever thinking about it was Faces, not portraits, but faces that showed a dynamic range of facial expressions that were expressions that all people could identify with. These faces were done essentially as masks that I would have to wear depending on where I was or what I was trying to achieve, this took me years to finally realize but I started doing Art as a release, as a way to cope with my situations/experiences etc. If there was something that showed I had a proclivity to Drawing or Painting it my situations/experiences etc. If there was something that showed I had a proclivity to Drawing or Painting it would be the doodles I did from the time I was 11-present.
