Jacob's passion for art started in childhood, nurtured by supportive parents — especially his father, who sat with him through his earliest drawings. He spent countless hours sketching, often during class, trading drawings for candy with classmates.
He got his first tattoo at fifteen and soon began practicing the craft on friends. As his skill grew, so did his reputation, earning him a loyal following across Seattle. Drawing on Mexican-American and pre-Hispanic art and blending in elements of street and graffiti style, Jacob has developed a signature look all his own.
He specializes in large-scale black and grey as well as full color work — portraits, sleeves, and cover-ups — and is one of Seattle's most sought-after artists, while also taking on script, tribal, and finer detail pieces.
