GraffitiMA or better known as Ernesto...                                     

Ever since he was a child, sketching, drawing and building things out of anything would always have his attention. During his High School years, he had his first taste of AutoCAD. A complex, complicated yet fun drafting program that had him hooked to Design.  In 2004 he attended Sacramento State University where he develop a passion more for design and art. He graduated in 2007 with a degree in Interior Architecture. That same year,  he had a unique makeup experience as a guest at a Photoshoot, in Southern California, that guided him to a new venture in life. After that he pursued the idea of enhancing beauty and challenged himself to look further into the eccentricities that makeup could offer.  He feels that his understanding in Design has given him the opportunity to step out of the "norm" and create some fun projects with the help of Photographers, models and other artists. The last 12 years in this industry have been an amazing learning adventure. His work has not gone unnoticed and can be found in news stands, renowned bridal blogs and TV. For the last 5 year he has had the opportunity to live at the WAL Artists Lofts in Sacramento; an Artist based community, where inspiration flows through all the halls. He plans to take advantage of every moment of his surroundings to further his technique, creativity and eye for Makeup Artistry. 

Inspirations

"What inspires me? What doesn't inspire me is more like it! From the moment I open my eyes everything around me becomes inspiration. Architecture, Color and nature have always been key in my work"

Meet Lemi...

 I’ve always had a passion for the arts, especially painting. So naturally I began to experiment with makeup and I fell in love with it. When I started competing in pageants I became exposed to a new world, one where I felt like was able to grown and learn in unlike any other. It helped me gain confidence and an understanding of my aspirations in life. This awakening is the force that helps me continue to always put my best foot forward as I strive towards my goals. So that maybe one day I’ll be able to accomplish my many wishes of what I want to do, and how I want to influence the world.

Why GraffitiMA...

Although I don't necessarily agree with Graffiti do to the vandalism of personal property... I can appreciate the art behind the colorful, self expressive nature of every well thought out design or inscription piece. Just like Graffiti, I feel that my artistry is driven by many factors, constant changes, trends, techniques and influences from other mediums.  I came up with Graffiti Makeup Artistry because I express my self every time I paint a face. Just like a tagger paints on a wall or on a sign, my work evolves daily from  an over the top Editorial look to a brides special day.

I observe every curve, function, and I analyze  its purpose until  I make sure it make sense to me. Scary movies are always my  list!!!!
