ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My Work is a continual journey to discover the meaning of each individual as a person through my expression of drawing ink pen portraits. People are influenced by other people more than any influence that there is. People, especially celebrities, are poised to be inspirations for many if not millions of people. I draw to discover the expression in one's face, and to continually generate new skills, ideas, and tricks to conquer the human face.
P.A.A.W., Inc. Productions stands for Professional Artist's At Work. The Company was founded in 2005 by me and a few other associates from the arts and education world to serve as a visual and media arts company helping and employing inner city students, and college aged workers in the area of media and visual arts.
I wouldn't be willing to sell my soul for a mere meal ticket in this life. It's too risky, I'd rather work for the disadvantaged and feel a sense of self satisfaction from the good work that I do!
