I was born and raised in the southside of Chicago, Illinois many
years ago. As I grew up I realized that I was given the innate
trade of art and design for my life. Whereas every level of art I
seem to can just do well, having developed to almost a mastery
level. While growing up I had the chance to attend Culver Academies
in Culver, Indiana for 3 years to escape the harsh and gang life of
the south side of Chicago. Graduated from H.S..then further
graduated from Southern Illinois University @ Carbondale. After
college, I used my degree and trade to become a professional
product designer and also Senior Artist/Founder and owner of
Realistic Imaginations. Having the grace to develop for
Fossil/DKNY, Swingline, Bissell, Stridex, Plantronics, Whirlpool,
Russell Simmons, and over many more top named markets.I was given
the chance to teach art to Christian students when I was 24/25.
Then at that time I believe was the moments where I begin to
transform from being all about what I want, to what I need to give
out. I looked at the type of artist I was and realized it was not
painting the life that was really in my heart. When I found Jesus
in my heart I looked at everything I had. Everything I was going
for and realized I cannot do nothing without him. I believe that
was the most intelligent choice I can take to the grave with me.
Since his dwelling place has been in my heart I am no where close
to who I used to be neither is my art. So when that person who
encouraged me to "come try jesus, he will change your life," he was
not lying. It's not really about the money, its all about Love. Not
only for yourself, your family, but this entire world. I dont want
to die knowing that every check I made my tax dollars helped out
just a little to what my whole life can do if I just give like he
did. If I give myself then he will give back unto me.Unto my family
and unto my children even farther than my life can extend to. As a
Child and a father that is a choice that is better than any life
insurance can gurantee. I just trust in him. So onside of being a
vessel for the Word of God and reaching to the lost. We love Jesus
and we honor God as the Father. Jesus was everything that he said
he was and more. He proves it everytime I take his word and apply
it to my life, I watch it pass that it never comes back void.
Jesus's message was not to develop christians watered down by
message and example. Falling asleep in church, hate to give, and a
lack of love in them for anyone. Jesus cultivated the best in every
area of man that ever walked this earth. He was an example to look
to because he showed us the Father, one with a man on this earth.
In service or other matters such as employment and volunteering
nothing less than who Christ was. A servant/ leader with a heart
for all people and secure identity as a child of God. We want
victory over eyes that can lust, a tongue that can curse, a hand
that can smite, wicked thoughts, and unrighteous footsteps. This
was not Christ Jesus. Therefore, we choose life in the
spirit...more than reading a letter that can also kill. Come see
what we are about and edify with us to harvest his love on this
earth. Or visit us at www.realisticimaginations.com
