New Beginnings

It seems like its been so long since I've been on here and it really has. Almost two years since I posted anything new, not so much because I didn't make anything new but because I didn't have the time to upload new pieces.

In 2014 I lost my grandmother, lost the man who I loved like a father, almost lost my aunt and nearly lost my job, but my aunt recovered and just before thanksgiving of 2014 I was promoted to a full time position. Once 2015 rolled around I made a vow to myself that it would be the year I turn everything around and it has. Since that day (a year and half later) I'm a dedicated KenJutsu Ka (Technique of the Sword) which has been a dream of mine since I was a child. Learning the sword from my Sensei's at Traditional Martial Arts Society in Pittsburgh has allowed me to discover more about myself as well, so much so that I completely changed most of the things in my life. To date I've dropped over 80 lbs, I'm in the process of writing a fantasy novel, and my passion for my art has risen from that ashes like the proverbial phoenix.

So long story short I'll be changing things up here as well. The new header I put in is just the start of an overhaul I'm planning for my portfolio along with a number of new pieces that I'll upload in the near future.
