"seamo, seamonster"
Originally, I'm from the 'Burque' , Albuquerque New Mexico.
I'm an Artist, Illustrator, Writer, Photographer, Designer. I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon. I've Been involved with Graffiti since the early 90's. The lettering & characters really drew me in. I lived near Tulsa, Oklahoma during that time, the only writing I saw was on Freights. I saw a couple magazines through a friend. I had to make it up as I went along. I had no one show me, teach me, or anything like that.
around the late 90's Drugs took over- and within a few years I had completely stopped doing art & skateboarding (another love of mine for 10+ years).
Around 2003 I moved to Louisville. After a few failed attempts at cleaning up. I finally got into a Methadone clinic-it saved my life.
All my friends are dead or in prison.
Except the 'Real' friends I had that knew I was doing wrong.
After a couple years I started to feel a need to start drawing & writing, painting, etc. Learned some computer programs.
I got the Graff-Bug so bad. It helped motivate me.
I'm 30 now. I've started to try my hand at doing art for a living. I have a daughter now who's nearly 2. She loves to draw & every time she sees a picture of a train or graffiti covered walls-she Loves it.
I'm finally maturing as an artist. If it hadn't been for the nearly 10 yrs. of completing virtually No art, I'd be a lot further along in my art, & in life in general.
I'm slowly getting there. I just want to be able to create art & support my family.
That would make me happy.
