| Background: |
I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and designing my friends’ tattoos for years too, but I never really worked up the nerve to get off my bum and start looking for an apprenticeship...until pretty recently. So now I’m here, picking up the tricks of the trade, day by day. It’s sweet to be able to help out & learn from all the artists here at Fanatic (when they’re not picking on me for being a dirty hippie, that is!) |
| Interests: |
Tattoos, art of all kinds, adventures, nature, hiking, & activism. |
| Favorite Mediums: |
Colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic. |
