My mother and grand-father were both artists so I was surrounded by art at a very early age. I went to the high school of Music and Performing Arts and started developing my “technical” skills around that time. However I got my flavor from my experience in the streets of NYC. I grew up in NYC, the upper west-side (Harlem) and I learned a lot from the streets. I was a professional b-boy for 14 years for crews like the Dynamic Breakers and New York Express. I was hanging out with a lot of dope graff writers (West, Surge, etc…) so I tried to be like them. I tried hard but I wasn’t a very good graffiti artist. I was better at drawing characters so I stuck to that. I then went on to the Art Center College of Design in California where I was taught more classically. This is when I started developping the style I have today. It was a fusion of street influenced rhythms of graff and dance and of classical painting.
