THIS IS WHO I AM

in introduction •  7 years ago 

Who the heck is this guy???? No really...

I'm an artist through and through, I was drawing from a very very young age, whatever I saw, I could draw and I became know in my Primary School{British Education} as "The Artist" I'm like 7-8 years old at this point this trend of being called "The Artist" continued throughout all levels of my education :) in different schools different people, they would still end up calling me this name

Where the heck are you from guy????? No really...

Wooooo, I'm from the sweet sweet Caribbean, my father is from Spain and my mother is from Barbados, where I reside.IMG_3075.jpg

Okay Okay, so like... have you always lived there in Barbados???

Well no, I was born in Spain actually, and then moved here to Barbados with my parents, at a very young age. Where I fell in love with the #ocean the #beaches the #women the #environment #culture But I've lived in NY NY working as a Graphic Designer, for and entertainment from and record label, I've designed for Alicia Keys, 50 Cent and many more.IMG_0320.jpg

But the natural beauty of the Caribbean just blows my mind, I love to surf, and a little piece of knowledge the lost city of #Atlantis was right here in the Caribbean, and Barbados was an actual fragment of the majestic city! IMG_2321.jpg

Now as an adult person, what kind of art are you into now??? huh...

Ouuuu,you know artist don't earn no money... lol but if you must know, I'm a #filmmaker #writer #GraphicDesigner #vocalist these are the forms of art I earn from, but I still #paint #draw #sculpt and #daydream hahaha IMG_2425.jpg

Psshh...yeah, whatever you're cool... whatever... but what else are you into, OTHER than "The Arts"... this guy....

lol... Well, I'm into #fitness and helping others get fit, I'm a coach on the side, I started doing this because my close friends always wanted to know how I was in such good shape, and asked me to help them, it started this was and has lead to me becoming one of the most respected coaches on my island. I push you to achieve what you think you can't, I believe you can! And I've now proudly turned my class into a Reality TV Series, so meshing my talents and skills together to create your life is very important for me and I believe it makes sense. HC Group Shot.jpg

lol... In a way yes, these are just a few of the young men I've trained and helped to stay on the right path, I do not charge school kids anything, I give back by being a positive #RoleModel in their lives, money isn't everything in life, and thats one of my strongest beliefs, we need more #humanity more #love not everything should be based on moneyIMG_2996.png

They earned my respect through hard work and dedication so they can wear my brand #Hardcore #PainIsTemporary !IMG_2995.png

So this is you're fitness brand???? Who designed this logo.... surely, not you!! IMG_0006.JPG

haha... Actually yes I did design this logo... fun fact about it, this is actually my face, I had an assignment in back in College years past, and it was to draw your own face, but in different lighting settings, one was a spot light or hard directional light, on the face, and this was the outcome from that assignment, I always liked how that drawing looked, I would always say it looks like a super hero, and when I was thinking what logo direction I wanted to go for my #brand, I chose this, because of it spoke to me in the way I wanted it to, it makes me feel inspired, like I can truly achieve anything and of course, the super hero appeal. :) yea.. lol !
Here's the original piece of art. :)IMG_3911.png
Okay so I guess we know you a little now... but one more thing... how much money would it take to make you happy????? huh buddy???

If only money made the world go around... lol, wouldn't some people be very happy, money should be a bonus in life, not the purpose of life. Thats how I feel about it. Greed makes us less human than we can ever imagine. Give someone something and see how that really feels... may change your life. IMG_3622.png
Cheers to life my friends.
