"Art is about life, growing up, and getting older. My art is very serious to me. I get my ideas from movies, rock and roll music, and family that I enjoy. I just want a normal real-life because love is real. My nickname is 'J Positive' because I am a positive person. It makes me feel very good when people like my art."
