Tanner Bogard

Well i was born in San Diego, California. I moved to Richmond when I was 9. Later on, my mom passed away when I was 10, and I felt somewhat lost in life after that. I never really had something I could be proud of. Until I came across the artist Alex Grey, he is the one who inspired me to start drawing. Once I started drawing I felt as if I was almost meant to do it, and what I thought was easy to draw other people were dumbfounded. I decided not to go to college, but to try and make a name for myself on my own, with out a professor instructing me. I have my mind set on making a life and a name for myself with my art. Its a goal i can never fail, because I will never give it up. I am currently working two jobs and selling prints of my art through etsy.com. Art is just something that always has and always will inspire me.
