Being my first post, I guess I should explain myself and department M. I'm a 26 year old amateur artist from Miami, where I have lived my whole life. I wish I could say something like ' I only get inspired while I shoot up heroine and imagine what it would be like to drown a prostitute,' but my persona is no where near that cool. I draw what I think about, in the way I think about it. I don't have many sources for inspiration except for a few sites, books, cartoons, and my wife. The worst part about being an amateur artist is, you're usually something else most of the time.
Me? I'm in Public Relations (PR). For those not familiar with PR, it's a lot more than just having a list of vips at the front door of a club - regardless, it's a field that has taught me to never believe what I see in the media, and pretty much be suspicious of everything.
So that's me - at night, I'm a heavy drinking, overly-sarcastic, artist, and by day, I'm a suit. It's a living.
As for department M, this is pretty much the name I have established for where I want to take my art. I'm very scattered between comic art, street/urban style, and graphic, and dept M is pretty much the universe my head lives in when it comes to developing my skill, and trying out new styles. Some artist go by their real name, some create new ones, and me - I'm an enterprise.
Now this blog is just a place for me to be able to chronicle the development of a bunch of ideas i have, and it'll be a testament to my successes and failures. It's also a place I want to chronicle the other journey - life - fortunately for me, that's not a trip on going on alone.
