CONTENTS
watching all the disney classics and being a dreamer wishing on stars, i started using the star as a symbol in many pieces of art since i was very young.
I used to dabble in lettering more in the past, but I have always been more interested in characters .
My cousins are graffiti writers . I looked up to them and wanted to be like them . That’s how it all started .
My mom often calls me Amara Por Dios!!! if I have done anything bad or good . So it’s both negative and positive .
I’ve heard a lot of time I blend into my art, that I sometimes become a part of it .
I’m a huge sneaker freak . I love sneakers . It was recently I started to use sneakers in my art .
Keith Haring was the first Guy I saw doing what we now call Street Art, and he truly inspired me to become an Artist .
Artist Billi kid curated a show/fundraiser where he gave artists (like COPE2, Joe Iurato, Chris Stain, URNewYork) an official NBA Backboard from the actual NBA courts . Mine was from the Phoenix Suns, so I did a Steve Nash .
I am known for my Signature EYEZ . . . it’s kind of like my Soup Can, Andre the Giant or Rat!

For me, 2012 is a lot of things - The biggest is transparency, and living life honestly and openly . This is me, and this is what I’m doing .
Positive growth for me is taking the best and most successful ideas of the past, and letting go of the rest .
The (You Are Beautiful) project has been going strong for 10 years, with many amazing people working on the project .
