Creative freedom of the artist. As an artist I aspire to connect with my audience and share my vision of the world for entertainment and sometimes educational purposes. I hope to inspire through art by displaying the best and worst of human life while sharing stories and visuals that might or might not be personal; and stories that might or might not be fictional.

Beware of projections, deflections, one sided beef, parasocial relationships, illusions etc. Feedbacks and critics are a natural part of my job. However, stalking; harrassment; threats; defamation; attacks; bullying tactics disguised as critics or abuse of any sort are not and may lead you to court. Please be responsible and accountable for your actions.
