Flaming Skull by C.J

C.J. was born and raised in Wainuiomata and from an early age has been interested in cars and motorcycles. A self-taught mechanic he worked fixing cars as a teenager.

In fact, when C.J. was young he had little interest in art making.

However, an unfortunate accident left CJ unable to utilise his “natural“ right-hand and so part of his rehabilitation to develop “left-handedness’’ involved art making. This is where CJ developed his love for painting. Still gleaning inspiration from car culture, comics and music that ranged from Rap to Doomcore; CJ has been attending Pablos for 10 years. CJ intends to develop his art making skills to include 3D in the future.
