Art

Since I was a kid, I was interested in art. This interest mostly came about through osmosis of my dad's profession of being an artist. From there, I got into graffiti art in High School. There was a graffiti art club and I joined it through the influence of a few friends. 

After I got into the grind of college, I pretty much dropped art altogether. After graduating and started working, I decided to pick it up again, but this time with the focus of anime. This was when I really started to study art - anatomy, colors, compositions, lighting, etc. I mostly did digital. I felt like I really broke through with my fundamentals in this phase.

I am getting back into art again and I want to get back into graffiti art thanks to David Choe's recent appearance on Joe Rogan. I don't think it's worth the tradeoffs to do it illegally, but I do want to do things with cans eventually. You can get some cool effects with the spray. I want to explore oil on canvas as well. You can make some really amazing looking pieces. I'm currently working with watercolor and it's been good.

I don't want to do anime art anymore. I realize that it's limiting to follow a certain style.  For my art's direction, I want to focus on social justice in the United States. There's been a lot of turmoil lately and I want to use art to spread awareness or invoke emotion. Hopefully I can make a side income from this as well.

One of the most grateful things I am for my father, is to tell me NOT to get into art despite being an artist himself. It's really tough to make it as an artist, and I'm blessed from my decisions for going into computer science.
