Hello Fellow Deviants!
Its been a while since I've posted any progress on this journey I call life. I will give you guys a brief summary of everything that has happened within the last 3 years.
2009 - boring (lmao)
2010 - It was a tough year because my grandpa passed away. He was a War Veteran that helped his family escape from Cambodia. Love you gramps, I hope heaven is awesome! After this I became lost. I lost my job, I couldnt afford school and my love of 6 years left me.
I left Texas and traveled to California to find myself. I spent time in San Francisco, Modesto, Los Angeles and San Diego. I spent countless days on the rivers in Modesto with family. I went to the beach in San Diego every day. I enjoyed In-N-Out burgers for the first time too. It was fun.
I came back to Texas a year later. I had a fire within me to get everything I had back. My girlfriend came back to me. I began my job as a freelance graphic designer. I first started designing club flyers for a promoter. Then I landed a job within the music industry for G4 Muzik (Grammy award winning Play-N-Skillz). I got to meet Paul Wall, Baby Bash, John Legend, Jay-z and Kanye West. I worked for them and I went to all of their parties
I went back to school and founded a web development team. We develop e-commerce websites for small businesses.
My life turned around quite a bit dont you think? But I was missing something. I wanted to do car design.
December 2011 - I found a client that wanted a body kit designed for their Nissan Silvia s14. So I began researching on how to do that. The my world changed when I came across BXR Motors videos.
BXR Motors started out of one man's garage. I started to submit feed back on his design. Which then lead to sketches being produced. One month later, I am now BXR Motor's concept designer.
If you guys want to follow the progress here it is. (

I will update my journal once a week on our progress. Right now I am designing the interior of the Bailey Blade.
