My artist statement

i Love art. I've been drawing since Kindergarten and i really started picking up on it when i met one of my best friends Brandon Taitt. He's helped and infleunced my drawings alot since then. We were always kind of competitive but i knew he was better than me. But that helped me alot. I kept trying to be the best i could. Also my stepdad use to draw cars and i use to try to copy all of his art. My mom and my aunt are also very good at drawing and they influenced me greatly. I draw when im bored or just when im trying to get away from the normal day. Especially when i cant skateboard or its raining. 

My favorite artist

My favorite artist is Leon Karssen. I lreally like the cartoon style that he does and how simple his artwork is. Its humorous and i like the theme of them. He does a lot of skateboarding art and i love to skateboard. I've been skateboarding since i was 7. He also draws and animates pro skaters. I came across his art on a skate magazine's instagram called "Thrasher". Ever since then i've followed his art even though alot of it is innapropriate.
