When I was little, my mom told me I used pencils and crayons to draw on the walls. One Christmas, my aunt bought me a few sketchpads. Pretty much after that right there, I started copying cartoon characters like Tweety Bird and Sylvester. Then when I was about 15, I stepped up into doing self-portraits and landscapes.
I just stayed with it. I liked doing it. When I’d be painting or drawing at home where I was the oldest of five brothers, no one would mess with me. I’d be in my own little zone. I could create anything that came to mind.
I try to make my art realistic. I like things to be kind of perfect. In the next few years, I would like to have a store with all my paintings on the walls. As soon as someone buys one, I’ll put another in its place, and I’ll keep myself going that way.
My art expresses my feelings. I like the idea that when people look at my art, they get the feelings, too.
