Background:

MR. MARS.

AIRBRUSH ARTIST. DESIGNER.

“ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU MAKE OTHERS SEE.”

-EDGAR DEGAS

GRAFFITI STARTED MY PASSION. THE PROCESS OF CREATING, BENDING AND TWISTING LETTERS TO CALL YOUR OWN STRUCK ME FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST THEM SPRAWLED ACROSS MY HOMETOWN IN HOUSTON. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN MYSELF TO CREATING NEW LETTER FORMS, COLOR COMBINATIONS, AND BALANCING MY PIECE UNTIL I REALIZED THAT GRAFFITI WAS JUST THE BEGINNING TO MY LIFE OF CREATING.

MY WORK IS CREATED FROM THE INSIDE OUTWARD TWISTING IT WITH POPULAR THEMES. I EMPLOY BOTH TRADITIONAL AND “NEW SCHOOL” TECHNIQUES.

THE REPETITION IN MY WORK ALLOWS ME TO SHOWCASE PIECES OF MY OWN LIFE AND HISTORY ON MY PIECES,

REGARDLESS OF THE THEME.
