has multiple screws loose, but hey, less restraints makes the creative mind work better.
quite idealistic about how reality should be, but old school. trying to live every moment, and not get too uptight about life. art is my life and passion, no matter how far i would try to run from it, it always comes back to me. money however is merely a necessity in order to survive, never been a motivator.
every now and then re-reads sun tzu's art of war, and musashi's book of five rings over and over. believes strongly in the samurai's code of honor, the knight's code of chivalry, and the northmen's way of death.
has spent most of my life searching for contentment and inner peace; realization of a greater self; more importantly, to always be a better artist tomorrow than i am today, preferably in both character and skill.
i seek neither fame nor fortune; only my path, and ascendance of my inner self.
