    I am a serious artistic entrepreneur and I’m 53. I’ve been into fashion since my days of middle school in the early 80’s. Back then i would have my mom buy me a Lee denim jacket and then create a mural on the back with acrylic & brush. I didn’t even realize what I was doing, but it was a blind passion. I’ve taken apparel apart and then re create a shirt with other materials. I have started my own brand which is coming out soon and I’m the designer, artist and leader. I want all of my pieces to be unique.
