so my “mexican” friend octaio (hoooh) saw i picture that i had just finish drawing but he saw it upside down and this is the result of what he saw from my image.
the other side of my world
my other side of life, full of words and seriousness where consentration and time management are the key to success. the work side of life is full of rules, regulations and guidelines where as an artist goal is to challenge the norm, push boundaries and bend rules ( sometimes break them )
how im feeling today
after a rough few day i finally feel abit happy so i guess this image best describes my mood today
#1 song on the day of my birth
yes this is a video form youtube of sir mix-a-lots baby got back. This video shows the world i was born into and what the sheep in this world were playing on their tapedecks (i think thats what they called them… chunky oversiezed 90’s ipod) so i believe this video is really one of the first things that shouls show the world surrounding me on the day i was born into this world

police 10 – 7
police ten seven always makes me laugh, whenever they describe a suspect they describe every maori in the north island so here is my little tribute to the great kiwi show that showcases the men and women who protect and serve our country.
cyber self portrait
it wouldnt be self portrait without a cyber self portrait. this is wwe 13’s chad thompson aka “dashing” chad thompson. he is a founding member of tag team “bad influence”, one hlf of the unified wwe tag team champions, current king of the ring, current royal rumble winner and current world heavyweight champion. so in the cyber world we are representations of what we believe we should be and in my case im a main eventing superstar who beats up john cena, wears cm punk trunks that are pink and yellow kick pads as a tribute to macho man randy savage (ooooohhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh)
please come with me to rainbowland ( photoshop self portraits)
this is what happen when chad is trying to find his pictures on his camera and finds photo booth instead so here are some random pictures from me “experimenting” with this new found app.
unicorns are made of fudge ( self portrait xiii )
i think this drawing would best describe my emotional state over the last couple of days. the drawing itself is simple a straight foreward which is what you want life to be like but the creases on the paper are all the complications and agressive emotions that come along from the decisions of you and those that surround you. life is full of ups and downs, we are not remembered for the s**t life throws at us but we are remembered for how we deal with the s**t.
chad morrison – undiscovered ( self portrait xii )
another sketch of self portrait created out of oil pastels and black canvas paper. it remindes me of the cover of james morrisons album undiscovered which actually happens to be my relax/calm down music so there is more meaning to this image than just the drawing itself
win at all costs isn’t that right? ( self portrait xi )
this is one of the more enjoyable drawings i completed over the last few week during self portrait. i used quotes that ive said or heard over the last three weeks and turned them into an image of me.
