Visual Art – San Jose

I\'m a Bay Area artist who is trying to get exposed to every bit of inspiration that life has to offer. I see my work as sort of therapy, and I often draw inspiration from social issues. I have always been a person that is bored with anything that is considered \"normal.\" I stray far from photorealism in my work, because I believe people get enough realism in their everyday life. I over exaggerate and distort the human figure to portray emotion or add significance to the figure. My work is heavily influenced by street art and traditional tattooing.
