I am native of New York City. I had lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn for eight and half years. Now I reside in New Jersey. I was born in the borough of Brooklyn (Crown Heights) and raised in the borough of the Bronx.

I have always had a passion for art. In the 3rd grade I was recognized for being very skilled in drawing. Back then I considered tracing cheating so I would copy cartoon characters and stuff freehand to show off how good I was. They would come out looking just like the original.

I was raised in the golden age of the hip hop era. I used to imitate the graffiti I saw scribbled in the hallways and staircases in the housing project I grew up in. By the age of 13 I was obsessed with graffiti. I remember when the subway trains were covered from top to bottom with colorful murals. I’d soak up the scenery like a sponge.

I like to manipulate found images in photoshop to create convincing compositions. That is what I am into right now and is the bulk of the work on this site.
I also do illustration which you also see displayed here.
