Born 1974 on November 6 in New York from Hempstead Long Island raised in Los Angeles California. As a child I was inspired by a still life Oil painting my father painted Mom was a single parent. Grew up watching HeMan, The Transformers, G.I. Joe, Voltron, Tom &Jerry, but my favorite Loony Toons loved the wacky caracters. I was obsessed! By the late1980's I became a Graffiti vandle and by the 1990's I was a Graffiti Artist. I was forced to stop doing Graffiti when the tag bangers came into the scene and decided to go back to school at East LA. Occupational Center "orale" I studied Graphic Design got a certificate of complition. Then I studied Architecture at El Camino College in Redondo. Worked for ICM International Creative Management in Beverly Hill as an Executive Protection Agent for five years hated it! Then a friend of mine got me in Universal Studios as an Airbrush Artist I painted T-shirts for a living. On the side worked as a backdrop Artist for Party Solutions. One day this 6' plus tall man with a full head of white hair said to me son, how would you like working for me? I can show you the ropes and teach you how to run a busyness you'll earn a living he said, little did I know that this would turn in the opportunity of a life long career and he would turn into my mentor. Drew for Lee Harvin and Hollywood face factory for approximately 15 years. In the year 2010 I lost my Mother to uterus Cancer. Teresa Jovel CeaCampo, This would be a life changing event, I embraced what I thought never to go back to Graffiti. I refuged myself in my own true Art form somthing I had suppressed for many years.... Emerged like a submarine emerges from the sea. Shut my self to the world. In the spring of 2011 Lee Harvin Dies from heart failure the company folded after his death. I started painting murals on my own. When I worked for Party Solutions I met Hector Ponce and his son Levi Ponce and was taught by them how to paint murals. Became a Graffity Artist painted murals in the city of Los Angeles. Do to low employment I decided to move to Las Vegas Nevada where I own a Caricature busyness on the strip infront of La Salsa Cantina Restaurant and teach Drawing and Painting classes at Michael's Arts and Crafts store. On my spare time I sit in the garage and work on my skills continue my on going studying to stay competitive and on my P's and Q's. To ultimately have an edge. Live with my beautiful wife of 15 years Susy and my to boys Angelo Orion and Joshua Alexander in Southern Highlands where I enjoy a new opportunity to living a fulfilling life. ????
