Tin's earliest influences in childhood were comic
books and fantasy cartoons like "Star blazers". Says Tin "I sketched
from time to time and did ok in high school art class then I decided to
became a fisherman. The dangerous kind like out of the movie "Perfect
Storm". I almost died three times and should have lost my drawing hand
at least a dozen times. After my last close call with death I decided
to become an artist. I didn't look at art as a career though until I
was 22".
Tin began doing commercial work and soon burnt out on it. "I was just going through the motions and creating things that didn't challenge me anymore. One day I was finishing a pin-up girl and I remember saying out loud to myself "If I only had a heart" which reminded me of the Tin Man in "Wizard of Oz". That moment I decided to do more interesting works and call myself Tin. His main influences are Steam punk, a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. In regards to the title of the show, "perfection" has been misused many times especially in the area of body image. In the past centuries certain body types have been described as perfect, giving woman of all ages a hate or dislike for their body shape, when the fact is NO human is perfect. We can only strive to be "Beautiful Imperfections" |
