Tell me a little bit about yourself!
I was born, raised, and live in San Jose, California. I like loud music, burritos, good haircuts and good manners, but I have bad posture; I also have very thick eyebrows.
Describe your childhood in a couple sentences.
I got made fun of for having humongous ears. “Hey Dumbo!” “Mickey Mouse!” “Elephant Ears!” I grew gigantic mutton chops to cover my humongous ears, and got made fun of for having gigantic mutton chops AND big ears! “Hey Elvis!” “Mickey Mouse!” “Elephant Ears!”
Has creating art always been a part of your life?
