As far back as I can recall I have wanted to create.
As a teen I subverted mainstream cultures and mentalities.
That is when I created THRASHBIRD. I like expression where there are grey walls.
That is why I like to do street art.
As I get older the inspiration for my work is changing.
I am intrigued by taboo subjects in American life,
like sexuality and violence.
My art is a question to the people.
I am always questioning myself.
I want to know if you are too.
