AESOPBOOKOFROT = watercolor artist, writer and guitarist from NJ currently in FL. I took interest in writing as a kid; I love spinning words to form images. I lost my sister and later myself to substance abuse. Substance abuse is difficult for the inexperienced to understand. Creating; writing first, made me want to feel again. Months of suboxone and heroin withdrawal followed until I left NJ & started painting while separating myself from peers who were drinking and still using. Art continued to cart me through various experiences until I had so many works I began showing in STP FL. I loved Aesopica. Aesopbookofrot is the punked up version. Kirivol1/KV1 is an acronym & method with which one must try to get the lead out in order to cope.
