Mostly online (Facebook, Instagram)

{9}gallery. Ice House.

Some annual shows (Hell City Tattoo Convention in August, Chaos show in October).

My art studio.

What would you like to accomplish before you die?

Travel the world. I want my parents to be happy about what I do (art). I want to show them that what I do can make people happy, so they can die happy.

I want to publish my art book, and of course, I want to paint the masterpiece that I could feel I am ready to die.

“Destroy And Resurrect”

What is your mantra?

Don’t complain.

Beauty is not something only we can see or touch, it is something we feel with our heart.
