Can you tell us a little about yourself and why did you pursue art
as a career?
I am a Hispanic American New Jersey resident. I was born and raised in West
New York. Growing up in West New York I experienced a variety of ethnic
backgrounds and learned alot from everyone I met in school and work. I picked
up my creative gene through my dad. I entered contests in and out of school
and received many awards. Currently I own a printing business and apply all my
creative thoughts to my projects for my customers. I always found art and
color in general fascinating. It is the reason I pursued art as a career. I
love creating. Its the best.
What were your thoughts initially on doing this project; and how did
it come about?
I loved the idea behind it and was freinds with Adam D. I couldnt
turn it down. I felt it was an opportunity for me to put my creativity out
there just as much as im sure Adam felt.
Do you have any other professional initiatives you are working with now? I am really focused on my printing business, iprint. Everyday I get involved in a new project.
You did such an amazing job with this design, we at Skate Rags
Online would like to thank you very much. Alex, any final thoughts?
Your very welcome. It really is a pleasure for me to be involved. I
wish skate rags and Adam the best. Im happy to see he is doing this project.
Its pretty fre*king cool if you ask me. Lets rock!!
