Hi, I'm Jimmy
I’m a 6’6”, 265 pounds of happiness, but you can't tell from my photo. LOL! . I'm living in the wonderful state of North Carolina. You can find me binge watching 80's and 90's cartoons or making lesson plans at 7 a.m. or starting a painting I may finish one day. I graduated from North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and currently spend my days working as a middle school art teacher (someone save me) which I love. Photography, though, has been a lifelong passion – there’s nothing I’d rather spend every waking moment doing, besides capturing those special moments and seeing smiles on everyones faces.
Overseas Basketball Player
It was a great & exciting experience to meet different people of other nationalities. The competition was great and even played against some ex-nba players as well.
Life of an Artist
There is something about the smell of paint and applying it to the raw surface of a freshly primed canvas that takes me to my happy place. I've been painting for serval years now and love every minute of it. The picture up top is a small mural I did in Montevideo, Uruguay in side of a barber shop.
Being Me!
Since I was small, I all ways stood out form the crowd due to my large appearance and my big smile. I always been the one to lean a helping hand to those in need. Since I was a young boy I would always read comic books from my fathers collection. I loved how different heros do different things & what they stood for. Superman morals is similar to mine, that represents "truth, justice and a better tomorrow."
