Inspiration for the piece:

I am who I am, but not much more than what I am. Bore in chains but refuse to die in them. Living to be a legend, dying to be a god, a misfit child that's what they label me. But here is something you may not know; we're all misfits. I'm just the one that chose to embrace it. Savage king!

What role does art play in your life?

Surrounded by darkness with no hope; it is everywhere, it infects everyone and because hate, greed and selfishness, it is easier than forgiveness, compassion and sacrifice, just as loving yourself is easier than loving someone else. Hate and evil will rule and destroy the world and it will consume all good. The world has convinced people that hate is what is right, that getting revenge or eye for an eye or punishing those who hurt you is right. From here I see no hope of having a good life, I see that no matter how good I am or how much good I can do, I will never be allowed to have a good life full or love, family, friends and success. I will never be allowed to be happy, to find a beautiful woman who loves me. I will never be allowed to be there for my kids or watch my grandkids grow up. I will never. be allowed to restart my company and rebuild the life that was taken. The world has come to believe that punishment, hurting and destroying and tormenting people who make mistakes is good but not all people are lost, not all people enjoy hurting people. Prison needs to be about bettering people and helping people become better people. Prison is only about punishment and torment, which can never create better people. Hate can only ever breed hate. Prison now instills hate, anger, revenge and creates anger and resentments. It makes people hate the government and the system. It needs to instill love,compassion, kindness and forgiveness back into the world for our kids and their kids' future. I could change the system I could make it so much better, make it about helping people while removing people who don't want to change from society. But people will never listen to me. Now I will never be able to help anyone . All prison is now is hate and torment. I'm punished for my depression and everything done to me in here, my desire for death becomes stronger every day. The darkness surrounds me more and more every day. They deny any mental health besides drugs, they steal my money and property and lie to cover it up . .

Artist statement:

Art Misfit means more than just a name. Art Misfit is not just who I am but also what I am. Which is someone that doesn't but does fit in with nothing but everything at the same time, and my art is the same.

I do what my heart tells me to do. Sometimes it means something and other times it means nothing at all. BUt my heart is my eyes and whatever my heart sees I have to draw or paint it, that's art misfit.
