This blog is a personal web page and portfolio for myself. I am no master in traditional Eastern art,but I strive to be. I’m a screen printer, tattooer, painter, graphic designer, and web designer. I’m currently attending and finishing my senior year at CUNY City tech in Brooklyn, New York.

Studying Graphic arts I soon realized the disconnect between Graphic arts and fine arts. I started to shift my focus from Web + Graphic design (Commercial Art) to fine art (Painting + Tattooing). Another thing I found lacking, not so much in art but in general, and living in New York City is the lack of our own traditions and cultures. I feel that these aspects of our lives have been shedding away with each generation as we become more westernized and/or modernized. I want to preserve the beauty of my own culture and traditions through my art.

This blog is more than a portfolio as it is also my journal chronicling my achievements and work through my life.
