My name is Chad Roddy and I am thirty-one year's old and in my prime. Currently, I'm living in Tampa, Florida with my new wife and muse, Amanda. My art is inspired by simplicity, skate culture, the drive to create and make the world around me a more interesting place to look at. Art has been a stepping stone throughout many times in my life and continues to drive me to see the world around me for what it is or in any way I decide to perceive it. Challenging others to put a pen to paper or a brush to canvas is also what pushes me to never stop creating. So often people stop themselves in their artistic tracks by not allowing creativity to flow from their hands. Too often "I CAN'T" leads them versus their own personal possibilities. My desire is to inspire others to see what they can do. Above all, I'm blessed with a God-given talent and I have to use it to love others the best that I can. So, draw, paint, write and create.......chad
