I started Airbrushing Murals on Lowriders around 1994, I asked my good friend Gerald Mendez to teach me the basics of Automotive Airbrushing, which was how to prepare the surface before getting started on the mural, which paints to use, and how to shoot the Urethane Clear Coat when the Artwork is done. I worked on the hood of a car for one weekend at his house, Trying to learn as much as I could from what he would teach me, from there on it was a struggle but I did everything on my own.
  Using famous Fantasy Artists to inspire me, such as Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Frank Frazetta, Hajime Sorayama, etc. First I would try to copy their work, but when I got more experience, I started creating my own fantasy creatures and images. Over the years I did lots of murals with Dragons, Wizards, and Sexy Women, but recently the customers were asking for different themes, replacing the traditional Fantasy Art was what would be known as "Street Art", with scenes depicting the lifestyle of the Lowrider Enthusiast, and culture themes such as Aztecs and the Mexican Revolution. The sexy women of course will never be replaced.
  In a couple of years after I began doing Lowrider murals I started getting a flow of customers from different Car Clubs around the Los Angeles area, it was around 1997 that Airbrush muralist "Wiro" gave me a call to work on a project together with him, we fully covered a Dodge Ram with murals depicting the Mexican Revolution, and in the two months that we worked together, he taught me a lot of techniques and tricks he had learned over the years to add to my own.
  In the last couple of years all of the Lowriders I painted were for exhibition only, and won numerous trophies for best murals at different Car Shows, a couple of them were exhibited at the Pattersen Museum of Automobiles in Los Angeles, Ca. Many of this same Lowriders have been featured on different Auto Magazines such as "Lowrider Magazine", "Street Customs", etc.
  In 1998, I went back to school to take a course of Graphic Design at "Los Angeles Trade-Technical College". Here I learned new concepts of Drawing, and Illustration, figure drawing (using live models) Production, Digital Illustration, and the basics of Graphic Design, and I got introduced to another wonderful tool: "The Computer" at first I was a little skeptical, since I had been doing fine for years without ever needing one, but I soon discovered the advantages of such a great machine. I also did Editorial Illustration for the school newspaper: "L.A. Trade Tech News" , and was on the Dean's List in 1999.
I graduated in May 2001.
