Three years ago I set to achieve something I swore I never wanted, but somewhere along the way I realized I needed. Not just because of societal expectations, but because I felt something was missing and I had this desire to push both my professional and personal development. After an encouraging message from a ghost and the full support from my wonderful wife @ag_nunez , those three years are but a blink of a memory now. After enduring intense commuting, sleepless nights, and easily 60+ lbs of gained weight, I get to wear the wizard garb and fancy hat to celebrate my academic survival and earning of the MFA title.

I’m blessed for the many experiences and relationships that have come from this. Much love to my amazing cohort: Loren Malul @lulusearth , Alexander Valdez Jr @gallo_flacko , Mya Correa @myalcorrea , and Matthew Dickerson @radimvice . A group of artists full of talent and selfless respect for their communities. If rumors are true… we’ve left our marks throughout the @artdesign_csusb department.

Big thank you to @csusbgradart for the opportunity and experience teaching my first University course: Creative Technology for Artists.

I owe so much to the mentorship of those who directed me to @csusb and those who guided me throughout: @mario_ybarra_jr , @fredbrash74 , @edgomezdotcom , @frostingforbreakfast , @steveking_arch_imaging , @timmyrings , @francis_almendarez , and @andrew_k_thompson .

Shoutout to @gggggggggggio for photographing the solo shoot. Especially the imperative bathroom shot.
