Inkdeyes/Javier
Art has been a part of Javier’s life for as long as he can remember.
I don’t think my life would have been as easy for me if it wasn’t for my art.I’ve always had this tendency of just getting lost in it. I would sit at my desk and just get lost and get consumed by the pen and paper. Unfortunately I never had the chance to go to an actual art school so I self taught myself everything I know.”
Experimenting with different mediums has helped Javier round himself out into learning so many different techniques. His art is very heavily influenced by the tattoo world and he tries to bring different aspects into his art to bring his creations to life.

Thank you again for allowing me to participate in the FUNraiser. I feel very strongly about this subject matter and want to help out any way I can. Coming from the Philippines, I see it too often–how children and women are exploited. Whether it be contributing with art, donations, helping with fundraisers, ANYTHING, I’d like to be involved in Life Preservers Project’s mission any way I can to help those victims of human trafficking.
