-Visual Arts-
Grab alot of inspiration from action sports and action sports lifestyle, skateboarding culture being a main influence. I love being able to work in multi media and art because of the endless places it's brought me. I've literally been across the world and back. Living, working and skateboarding in the Czech Republic I got a job at a television station as a video editor. A year later I moved back to Florida to start working freelance video and editing. I linked up with "FOX's Fuel TV", and multiple artist, musicians, athletes, and businesses to create content. I juggling freelance video and editing on my free time along with one of my passions to make art. I took some time off from video and wanted to work on my art, so I apprenticed with one of the best South Florida airbrush artist bringing me to move to Ft. Lauderdale for a year. He taught me alot about airbrushing and then sparked my interest with glass etching “glazing” and a way to combine the two, since Ive been able to implement the two into my artwork. I am always looking to expand my knowledge of working with my hands and expressing creativity.
-Bicycle Artist-
Recently Ive found myself practicing as a bicycle technician close to the treasure coast beaches with bike rentals all year round to enjoy Florida weather and bike path along the beaches all located near this small bird shop. All together going on 8 years and a few months learning and practicing proper repairs and mechanics of bicycles. Servicing bicycles I also became more efficient and diagnosing common technical problems with up-to-date modern bikes. I believe you can never know enough and I’m not done learning but absorbing what I’m taught to better my knowledge of bicycle mechanics and the art of bike. It’s always satisfying being able to share knowledge, tips and tricks to the interested persons and talk about bike maintenance and care. I feel the “art” and “creativity” of all different bicycles has definitely made me a better artist implementing and diversifying visual pleasing work along with the technical aspect of working with my hands producing from sketch to final result, weather its restoring a old bicycle or modifying a modern one, your end result is a working piece of functional art. Just about summed up quickly my activity of work in the past 10 years".
-Why Visual Artist?-
I like to do it all when it comes to anything visual. I like to create visually pleasing work from my vision or a clients when it comes to video,editing,producing,directing,graphics,photos, and art. Drawing at a young age then picking up a video camera later in my teens “I learned there are many platforms of canvas to create art, I don't limit my self but learn and create.” -Thomas Chrpa
