Introduction - Art, business, & philantropy are my thing - Hello Steemers!

Hello everyone, I've been lurking a little while but it's time to quickly introduce myself and my nefarious agenda on Steemit >)

My professional background is in environmental design but as you'll see in future post, I like many styles and mediums. I'm a small business owner & manufacture a number of imprinted products like stickers and apparels but my hobby is learning digital sculpting and jewelry design.

My objective here on steem is to share my art, network, learn, and hopefully use Steemit to fulfill some of my philanthropic goals which is a big part of my life. Aside from that, if anyone has questions about techniques or even if you need consultations with a project in your life, feel free to contact me. I'm completely open to sharing my knowledge with others.

So with that I'll leave you all with a self portrait I did using a .05 mechanical pencil and soft 2B and 4B on tracing paper.
:D

Awesome work, welcome! Steemit will definitely get you up and running. Have fun!

Thanks man, I like your art. I grew up in Bboy and hip hop culture in the 80s. Some of my friends from back then are world famous now.

Man! That is really cool, any names I might know? looking forward to your future posts!

They're all from the Pacific Northwest, they were all a prt of several different groups but they all came together under Circle of Fire / Soulshifters. Bboy Free is one I grew up with. He's a good artist also. Bboy Seth was the tagger, he was arrested a few times for it too. I don't think he's done much art since the arrest though. He got sent to Brazil after that and learned capoeira and was Bboying heavily after that.

Circle of Fire, Bboy Free, sick! I like his flow so much. I used to do a little Bboying myself, but always heavily observed the scene. Holland is doing pretty well at it the past few years. That's a lot of culture right there, really cool! The risks of tagging, that's a real ass tagger though.

Have another Korean guy I grew up with, wasn't friends with him but he manages the South Korean team that won the world BBoy championships, they made a movie about it, "Planet B-Boy". He now runs a international Bboy competition. Forgot the name of it though. His name was Jon.

Interesting how you can be connected to things that other people would consider exctraordinary.
