Villagers in the news – This Week in Sarasota
July 8, 2012 in Article, Out Of Town
Over the past 6 months, the artists that live in the Village of the Arts have been making a concerted effort to reach out and teach Manatee County about this unique place. That effort is a two way street, and on the other side of it you have people like local writer Jessi Smith. Having covered more of my events than I can think of, Jessi has continued to cover several other people in the Village of the Arts. Read the rest of this entry →

Rants and Rambles of a 20-something: The Interview
May 29, 2012 in Article
That was it. The last four years of study, hopes and dreams dashed in one dismissive comment. I arrived at this state of complacency via a craigslist ad, turned emailed screening and eventually a live interview.
I was in the middle of a law office, slightly sweaty in interview clothes (fashion that always defies Florida friendliness), fake pearls and a cheap smile. Read the rest of this entry →

I’m an artist and musician born and raised in Miami Florida. I enjoy making images that others can enjoy in turn driving me to create more and more. However, what really drives me to be a creative is being surrounded by others that have similar working minds. Creative thinking today is something that is necessary and prevalent in everyday life. Wether your a construction worker, an accountant, or just a regular urbanoid walking the streets of your neighborhood creativity strikes you wether you notice or not. The power of images is something to be honored with and it can be a dangerous tool. Like a hollywood film, images can grasp you and have you teetering on your feet and leave you breathless. Being around people that have this ability is something I marvel at. I am very grateful for being endowed with the gift of image making and take great pride in my development as an artist.

As a boy I always had the drive to create visual stories. From recreating cartoons, to drawing creatures. As I went through my life, art was a constant thing that I continued to peruse, at times I delved into the musical arts. I believe this helped me visualize things in a different manner than I would have if I went just through visual arts. Once after high school I tried various schools, and after a few tries I ended up spending a lot of my time living life. The events that I went through, both good and bad, have shaped my way of seeing life and this skewing in life sparked something in me. I continue to make visual art, but recently I have begun to come back into the musical arts. My art has been described as expressive, and grungy. I don’t hold back when telling the truth. From ink, to digital, to even oil painting my skills have reached a new level, but even with that I continue to search for a way to express an unease and uncomfortable feeling in my art.
