I began painting in oils when I was eighteen years old. I went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for a year and half. I realized that what I wanted to learn was not emphasized as much as postmodern art and politics. So I bought art books and instructional DVDs about classical painting artists and techniques. I taught myself to paint. My first models were my family. So in my tiny bedroom I doodled to a beat while Chicago gangs shot it out in the street. Only after I sold my first painting on eBay of my stepbrother Adrian, did my family begin to support me. They are my harshest critics but I am beginning to impress them.
