I started at about six....believe it or not, I've just never stopped drawing, i did dabble in other art styles, got deep into anime( i still am, Where my geeks at), figure drawing, comics, but in the end that all combined into the style i use now. Making each letter kinda like its own thing, while flowing with the others, you can even see that with the first piece i did( for my uncle when he went to prison, Said THUGLIFE, he gave it back when he got out....i still carry it around). In older now, but i still learn. I guess i got a bit of a head start, but i didn't start like others did, i just always saw it, and it just made sense.It chose me, and I couldn't say no. Most of the vets I hear have 10-15 years in the game, Me, i got all of the 16 years Ive been able to scribble things on walls and paper, and i'm still not done. I'm no vet, but i'm a upstart, thats the best thing to be to me. Show respect, but don't ride nuts, Carve out your own place and don't stop no matter how many people call you a toy, look ENEM, COPE, REVS,SABER,SABOT, CYCLE, and any other name you've even heard of was a toy once, and everyone has a bad sketch, or a fucked up line in a tag.Dont stop Get better, Thats a Challenge To every writer, Vet or toy.
