Artist's Comments

Artist's Time Line:

1997-1998: Attended Las Vegas Acadamy for Performing Arts and International Studies [link] . Studied Art under Mrs. Carol Treat

November 1998: First solo show held at Cafe Roma.

December 1998: Second coffee shop gig at the now non-existant Cafe Copioh.

FALL 1998: Attended a Clark County Community College Painting course taught by Dennis Angel [link] who once told me "you're the best student in the class but you're a flake."

1999: Dropped out of community college and moved out of the house to party. Hard.

November 1999: Joined the Air Force.

May 2000: Moved to Tucson and became "Jinx".

September 2000: Entered the Davis Monthan Art Contest. Awards won: 2nd place, 1st place, and Best of Show. Read abut it at the bottom of page seven of this [link] base newspaper. I won the most awards but the kid got the photo op. Let this be a lesson - no matter how talented you are the cute kids will probably get his picture printed before the trophy holder with the bags under his eyes, acne, and Skinny Puppy t-shirt.

I spied one colonel walk in front of my Corinthian Box painting, hang his head and shake "no". I think that meant he didn't like it.

November 2001: First non-employee of Heart V [link] to hang art there.

July 2002: Moved my art to Club Asylum [link] where it hangs today.

WINTER 2002-FALL 2004: Art Director for the Safehouse. [link] This job involved meeting with artists reviewing their work and scheduling wall space for them. I'm very proud of the artists I hung during my reign there but I had to let the wall go to make way for a merch stand.

FALL 2003: Attended the Art Institute in Tucson. Failed all classes and had to drop out.

May 2004: Joined deviantART

15 September 2004, 10:12: Started :icondeviant-interview:

Mar 2005: Removed art from Asylum. Left Tucson to become a Korean Linguist. Went AWOL. Met my old highschool friend
:iconreddoor:

Aug 2005: Began my tattoo apprenticeship with Majestik.

July 2007: Continued working at Sinfulltration in Lakewood Colorado.

April 2008: Returned to work at Majestik in Tucson.

Yeah, you can see the swirls on the shirt where I pushed the letters around with this tool called "picture putty". It was fun.
I love the piece. You've had an interesting life. Keep creating.
