About this title

About the Author:

"Art comes in many different forms, as does your own individual identity. It's just like a fingerprint. You have your own style and no one is to say how 'perfect' or 'non-perfect' it should be. Once you create your own art and get your own style down, never settle for simple, and always try to out-do your last piece," says Tattoo Duke. He began drawing as a child and never stopped. He had what he called a "Doodle Page," where he took the ideas in his head and created little sketches. He said he often started sketching images and would end up with something much better than he expected.
