Visual Art – San Francisco

I recently graduated from Academy of Art University, which took to me like a bad cold. It lasted longer than I wanted it to but I feel better once it's over, which I couldn't wait for. For a long time I felt like it ruined me, the kid that only brought his sketchbook everywhere. I've been drooling over gross, sick humor since I was little and have wanted to make my own, especially after seeing the breeding ground of commercial art. I've been trying to figure out my own style and self since leaving school and thus has created my schitzo personality characters whom I draw constantly and want to hang out with all the time. I've been all over the place with materials and mediums because I love all art and want to make all of it. I've done created collaborative art zines, comics, home screen printing, sculpting, painting, animations, graffiti, collage crap, and mostly sketching constantly just to satiate my constant art needs. Anyway, all of these things have been wildly unsuccessful and have made me a bitter bastard but I still love making everything and somehow have a collaborative and positive attitude. Maybe all my little friends I've drawn to keep me company will giver me some money someday so I can afford to spread out and infect some gross art around the world
