2008-10-13T07:42:00.000-07:00

For those who know me know 2 things (apart from loving my son):

1) I am a Christian and love the Lord.

Since I could remember, my life has always have been in church. In fact that was literally like a second home to me. My mom made it her mission to instill God @ home and in our lives (my brother, sister, and myself). We'd go to church so much that I felt like I lived there. At the time I had no choice. Whether or not I wanted to go, I went...and in the long run I grew up developing and having a personal relationship with the Lord (on my own), till this day. I am forever grateful for my mother for raising me in God.

2) I'm an artist and love comic books.

Growin up I was always around art, due to my father being an artist, working for the advertising company Y&R. I remember, as a kid, going to his job and watchin' him and others draw. I'm not sure often I'd go there but I know I've been there enough times for it to make an impression on me. And what does my dad do when he needs to get to work and his 5 -6 yrs. old brat outta the way? He takes me to an empty cubicle, sits me down @ an art table, places a art pad in front of me along with pens/pencils/markers, and say " Have fun !", and then go to his desk and got to work. I believe those experiences, as well as it being a natural gift and that I'm my father's son, that led me to want to draw... but, what to draw?.... that came from came from the first set of comics one of my uncles gave me.

If you put me being a christian, artist, and a fanboy of comic books together?

the Result: ignite studio

ignite studio is a chance for me to do what I love and do it for whom I love, to be able to spread the love through art (more info bout ignite studio to come).

well, not to bad for the 2nd post (I think, anyway) till next time.
