Distracted 
| I'm originally from San Antonio, and now live in Alpine, TX. My inspirations for art are wide-ranging, from ancient to modern, and Asian to Chicano, with stops everywhere in between. When other kids were dropped off at malls, I was left at libraries or museums, and verily, I became a total nerd and artist type. I grew up reading greek mythology and the reference section, was the first in my school/neighborhood to have a personal computer at about age 8, and knew museum security guards around San Antonio by their first names due to their kindly reminding me that running down hallways playing GI Joe and appreciating art didn't always mix. The name “Bakafox” is a tribute both to my western-geek love of Japanese and other Asian art as well as to all those who have told me that I'm foolish to pursue art as a career – “baka” is Japanese for “idiot” or “foolish”. I also use as one of my studio logos the one above, based off the tarot card for the Fool, which is a card with a reading that covers me and my life fairly well. Also thank you everyone who visits my gallery, comments, and/or faves my work. I read every comment whenever I wander back, although I admit I am very bad about responding all the time. |
Drop by again sometime!
