He became an apprentice of Otep last 2007 to 2008 which makes him decided to pursue a painting career. Last 2010, he was inspired by the work of Oscar Salita and created a style of his own. The body proportion are based on his old style which is fantasy inspired by the work of A.Andrew Gonzales. His mother told him when he was young that his drawings were so messy and that’s what makes his work now smoother. The theme of his works is based on Filipino family and most of them came from his heart warming experiences.
