Visual Art – Dallas - Fort Worth

Born in Paterson New Jersey, traveled around the country as an Army brat. Ran away from home when I was about 15 years old. Went to live with my father whom I had never met. School was typical for someone like me. Always picked last for the team beat up in school. I spent a lot of time running from fights till one day I said enough was enough if I\'m going to get beat up I might as well fight back. Got involved with dugs at a young age saw it as a way to fit in but that was a mistake. Dropped out of school in the 11th grade and went to work in electronics. Got into plenty of trouble and found myself in jail by the time I was 28. Did my time went to 2 rehabs and decided to stay straight. I had some good jobs along the way but after being away from my family for 22 years I prayed to come home and got my prayer answered. Drove a semi truck around the country for 10 years then turned around one day and 10 years of my life was gone. I started to write poetry and published a book in 2010 called, Insanity, Fantasy, Romance, Reality. Then about 2 years ago I started to draw for some of my friends and this lead me to Raw.
