the artist

MTCopyrightAbout me? You care? I’m flattered. I have a pretty strict policy of, well, not just throwing personal information out on the Internet. But here is some stuff I’m willing to put out there.

MT = my initials. Copyright = I always put the (c) symbol on all the artwork I signed so I went with it.
Born and raised in Canada, loud and proud.
I’m of ‘African Decent’. Yup, permanent tan.
Just between you and me, I’m not a guy (but some would say I’m close enough).

LOVE: Comedy, martial arts, Manga, Anime, comics, video games and – any combination of all of those. Rp-ing? Yeah that too.

DISLIKE: Art theives, art bashing, over obsessive fangirls (flaming), Mary sues.

BRIEF HISTORY:
I first started drawing when I was very young. I didn’t have much money so crayons and paper was cheap- and my parents can attest to the fact that when I did have those around… I made due. From then on I loved to do it as a past time, but never really took it seriously, until in junior high when I was encouraged to persue it. I had just gotten my hands on my first couple of comic books (I found in the garbage) and was hooked, not soon after the Pokemon/ Dragonball z phenomenon took over and I was HOOKED. I got into Anime and Manga pretty fast and my style in turn went through a lot of changes over the years. Now I’d like to think I have some sort of fusion, something… new? Original… maybe?. I lean on both sides = I think, and would like to think, that both things inspire me. Music and friends are my main muses and besides drawing I’d like to learn to write. Experimenting in style and mediums is something I want to do more of and I look forward to growing as an artist. The internet is a GREAT place to hook up with some awesome talent and learns the ropes.

Thanks for even taking the time to read all that! I hope that you enjoy picking through all my little art projects and grow ‘with’ me. I believe that art is all for nothing if it does not lend itself to an audience to enjoy and inspire.
