ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Francisco. I live in minneapolis and am currently embarking on that wonderful journey of being a working artist that can sustain themselves. It's a challenge and not always easy but I love it.

Other things about me I am vegan I love cooking and ethnic cuisines in particular. I am also into sharing ideas about renewable energy and green technology and urban gardening.

PHILOSOPHY

failure. I hate it but I value it. Life is nothing without failure, the lessons you learn from it and the strength you gain in persevering.

教，学，和分享

Hmm I dunno. I am very much a jack of all trades and a master of none at the moment. I've dabbled in enough things that I'm sure I have useful information to share with it comes to the various crafts of art making.

I definitely want to learn more about programming computers for the purposes of art and desing. I'm a big fan of Processing.
