Hello I was born in New Orleans, L.A; raised in Atlantic City, NJ and Los Angeles CA; so I had my share of left, right and in between, some of the most beautiful cities. I have been drawing and painting since I can remember. That was around the time my mom use to tell me to turn off the t.v. I did'nt really watch it, just used it for light at night while I drew. I have truly been BLESSED with this talent, because I have never went to school for art. Never had the money, just a passion for what I could do. Plus I really like the attention I was getting when I was young. I have landed some very prestigious jobs with my talent, such as some major corporations, Delta Technology (where my brother gave me the name TECBOY it just stuck with me), even some Textile industries (always up and down here in the south). But the corporate isn't really for me. The flight prevligies is the only thing I miss! I have done a lot of t-shirt silkscreen printing, airbrushing and sign work. In between those times I have literally done all kinds of odd jobs, cashier, bagboy, busboy, cook, mover and sales. Almost every other odd job that never had anything pertaining to art. With all the talent as a freehand artist and the technology skills I have developed (web devlopment, graphic designs, animation) over the past 10 plus years, you'd think I'd be sitting on a pretty penny right? BUZZ!!! Wrong. Sorry to say my friends, but I am still struggling after all these years. I... for some strange reason, when I try to take on business for myself, I keep running into these knucklhead clients that don't want to pay me for my work? Is it my calone I wonder? I know it's definately not my work. Not to sound like I'm tooting my own horn. But they take my work and sell it for much more than they have paid me. Is something wrong with this picture? Or is it just me? All that being said, I am glad to have come across this oppertunity to share. I am a little late on submission, but I've just learned about it. All the rest of my artist friends that can relate and know that time is just a mere example of patience that we have learned! It wasn't given to us. It's what gives us peace. This is why we create. So my friends, I hope you enjoy some samples of my work, it's from the spirit, heart and soul. Even at times when I am struggling to pay bills, phone, or wondering just how I am going to keep food for the next day week, month, I have my talent that can take me away for the moment, but I am still HUNGRY with talent! Lol.... not funny. Stay BLESSED my friends and thanks for letting me share.... c'mon say it with me.....'THANKS FOR SHAREING TECBOY!
