I am a Digital/Mixed Media Artist. I come from Planit-X (which embodies my creativity ). I was born of Haitian, African-Bantu, Chippewa and Irish Ancestry. I came into physical form on 4-2-81, in Colombus,OH. I gravitated towards music and art at an early age. Music, especially, because of my grandfather, who was a "blue's man" from Sunflower, MS. I started sketching and weaving in school, and I remember often taking that home with me. My mom gave me the affectionate epithet of "Picasso, " she said, "Your world is your own, let people see what you see." Tragically, she was murdered by my stepfather when I was 7. After that my siblings and I were taken in by my grandparents, and thus, the creativity was allowed to spill forth in Chicago, where I finally grew up. Artistically, I am heavily influenced by Anime, Erotic Film Actresses, and old rock band album covers, as well as Lloyd Kaufman, 80's music, like Blondie, the blues, Das Racist - virtually anything that isn't blasting fro
