I thought it would be fun to recollect my journey as an artist here. So, here is some insight from where I started, what inspired my art and where I hope to see myself going now and into the future. It all started as a six-year-old with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I got my first action figures and then the cartoon came out and I was hooked on drawing them pretty much every day. This was during the Eastman and Laird days where they were black n white where they all wore red bandanas. It then catapulted me into the X-Men and Marvel era of my drawing interests. I spent countless hours from a kid into my teenage years drawing X-Men and Marvel figures from my comic books and Fleer Ultra cards. Artists such as David Finch and Michael Turner (more DC stuff) were usually my go to. I started to get more into pencils and bought large sets with all the Bs Fs and every light and heaviness of graphite along with gum erasers. This is where a lot of my posts on here come from like my Wolverine

If you're coming in to straight up troll me and give me a hard time. I'm blocking you. I do not have the time to deal with idiots that have nothing better to do than make my life difficult. Now if you genuinely want to understand my process, how I setup my layers and paint in Procreate I'm more than happy to work with you through DMs or whatever channel of communication. If you have constructive feedback to give me about my paintings, I'm more than happy to hear it as long as it's in good faith and helpful. But if you're here to just mock me and have bad faith questions about my art process and insinuate that my art is AI. Kick rocks, you're getting blocked. I have a hard enough time getting myself motivated to do and finish artwork for a number of reasons, one of them being I don't get paid to do my work. I do this simply because I really enjoy painting digitally and creating as it's my happy place. I've been nothing but transparent about my art, how I use AI as references and
