Something about being exposed to fine art, grafitti, and Painting intrigued me at such a young age. So I can say I have strong aristic background. After my mother was murdered when I was sixteen. I became consumed in developing my own artistic style until I joined the Air Force at age 18. I was kicked out due to the failure to conform to military standards but I always completed training at the top of groups I had experiences with.. After spending three years in California I decided to return to my home of Fayettevillle,NC. Apon returning I went from job to job healthcare, construction, food services, production work. Moving from house to house and being homeless living out of my car at times. I looked to what always gave me peace which was art,pop culture, and fashion. I started by painting a pair of Timberland boots, Then on to T-shirts. After years of development I have produced products such as Zombielyfe Apparel,Clay Chains,Custom Tattoos,Canvas paintings, Custom Eyewear, Accessories, Toys, Motorcycle helmets, Digital Media, Graphic design, Music, Photography, Websites and much more. My Goal is to become a house hold name like Russell Simmons, Marc Ecko, or Kieth Herring but in my own way and style. Once that is acvhieved I can bring jobs and training to my city as well as inspiration. I started tattooing in 2010 thats when I ordered my first kit. I shared a condo with an associate who used to do some tattooing at a younger age. So I looked to him for pointers along with watching some youtube videos and DVD's. After six monthes of scratching I was given a chance to work in a local tattoo shop called Post Primitives one of the first established shops in my military town. I never did a formal apprenticeship but I was taken under the wing of a tattoo artist named Rob Spejcher. There I was shown the techincal aspects of tattooing, professionalism and safety procedures. I understand that tattooing is always a learning process and I have a lot to learn. I currently have 13 years experience as a Tattoo Artist and six years as a shop owner. I just launched my own tattoo aftercare line and Haircare products.
