Cursed (not for sale)
Charcoal, pencil, colored pencil
My whole life I've always tried filling this deep void and I could never figure out what it was or actually is. My son's mother helped me so much but yet I was still in the dark. My son is my best friend. But yet I was still empty. I want to figure this out so my son and his mother can see me as a better father, friend and person. I love you both.

Identity Statement
I personally see myself as a guy who grew up wrong. I was lost, still am. I want to be seen differently but it takes time to find who you are as a person. Don't rush anything, just be you. I've grown up in plenty of homes, never really got settled. But my son is what keeps me going and all of everything I do is for him. I want him to be a better son and a better person than I am.
What role does art play in your life?
Art is the biggest part of my life while incarcerated. I started to be a tattoo apprentice before I came to prison for a great group of guys. I want to be a better artist, open my own shop and just make people happy!
