The ATL art scene is a funny one... They are lots of great artists but very few buyers... A lot of bullshit hollywood talk wasting the time of hard working artist.... People act like they painting for fun.. This is what they do to feed their families...some artist hustle backwards and follow stereotypes in art just to make a sell...it's like they have to sell their soul to make a buck.. 4.What artist are you liking right now?
My favorites are Shige from Yellow Blaze in Japan... And Mike Giant out in San Fran... also Tuki Carter, Flux, Mr.Soul, Goldi Gold, Bobby Fuse Green, Jeremy Fish and Mode 
5.Whats the most fustrating thing for you as an artist?
When eveyone else is out living life.. Hanging out.. Having fun.. And I'm sitting in a chair in the same place 10-14 hours a day serving the people the art they desire.... I'm thankful but I miss out on a lot of life.. . 6.What is your goal for your art career?
My goal is to become a legend before i die... I want to live forever through my art like 2pac, Bob Marly, Andy Warhol, and Basquait do....I want people to study my art way after I leave this planet..7. Last spot on you, who would you want to get tattooed by?
