"ARTIST" BIO
 
 My artistic roots started in elementary school.  I watched Mark Kistler's "The Secret City" obsessively around the age of ten.  Soon after, I started making monthly "Fruity Humor" comics to send to my grandparents and aunt. 
 
I did have some good experiences in middle school art, but I really started  exploring my artistic abilities and ideas in High School. My teacher helped me develop technique. From those experiences, I decided to major in art.
 
I took special interest in sculpture, painting with acrylics, comics, drawing, and design.  I started MAGNA from the elements of design.  Special persons in my life that helped me in my artistic endeavors include Jesus, My Family, Mrs. Vural, The OCC Art Staff, Jessi Davies, Stephanie Howe, Jessica Gannan, Rob Thousand, Katherine Lemley, and Mountain Dew ( All night paintings! ).
Inspiration comes from all the friends I love so dearly, My Sweet Fiance, Sonic Team, Shonen Jump, Digimon, H.R. Geiger, Jack Kirby, Legend Of Zelda, and Studio Ghibli.
