Tribal: How long have you been tattooing and doing art?
been doing art ever since i was a kid. i still remember the first painting i ever did in kindergarten so i guess art has been in my blood since birth. been painting for about 6 years but only professionally about 3 1/2. i still only paint part time and tattoo mostly but thats going to change. been tattooing about the same time but never consistantly. always bounce in between both things.

Tribal: How would you describe your style?
my style has been influenced by everything. from graffiti to the low brow sceen in los angeles to art i use to see as a kid growing up in catholic school.... but i draw most my inspiration from music.

Tribal: Why did you pick Tribal to do a collaboration with?
actauly i didnt pick tribal. tribal picked me. bobby sent me a message through myspace and i thought it was a joke because growing up i always looked up to tribal and its art/artists and i didnt believe it. after i realized it wasn't a joke i was totaly stoked and excited. everyone at tribal is really cool from bobby to everyone at the warehouse. when ever i go down to san diego and visit they always treat me like family....
