Nerdy Misfit, Dedicated Workhorse
I am Will, William, Willy Boy, Magic Man! Self expression through artistic outlets since the day I could hold a pencil. I originate from Miami, FL where my love for the weirder side of life started. I was always doodling, painting, creating… even drawing on myself and my friends (got in a lot of trouble, do not recommend). Dragons, video game art, Magic The Gathering art, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, Comic Book art, etc. I tried my best to emulate the art, commit it to memory, explore the possibility.
Things definitely got weird in my high school art kid emo/goth phase. Dark arts, morbid creations, Mono Black Deck, trench coats in 90° heat. But oh, the art classes, the studies of Rembrandt, Dali, Bernini, Botticelli, THE MASTERS. Love, inspiration, aspiration. What was next? Art School? University? Nah, I knew what I was, an artist, a creative, a REBEL! Next logical step? That’s right, working in a kitchen!
But alas, the opportunity presented itself. An apprenticeship. New love sparked, old love reignited, the sound of a coil machine, the smell of Dettol, I was home.
Learning the craft, listening to stories, experiencing the new. From building needles to coil machines to drawing flash and more flash and even more flash! I had the spark. Tattooing was my life and it has been now since 2006.
A little older, a little wiser, still as hungry, still as dedicated.
I draw a lot of my inspiration from nerd culture. Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, Marvel, DC, etc. But with my own flare.
Want a full sleeve based on Star Wars? I got you. How about a thigh tattoo based on your DnD character? Lets go!
