Art By Chioke Gadsden

My name is Chioke Gadsden, #56736. Everyone calls me Stormy. I draw under the pseudonym INSIDIOUS. I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, 3.4.74. I am currently serving a life without for 1st. Deg. Murder.  

    This crime and label do not define me, however. I have worked hard to overcome my past misdeeds and mindset. I am currently a puppy raiser/dog trainer for Liberty Dogs at NNCC.

    I am a self taught artist specializing in portraiture, Polynesian, Asian and dark art, with an eye towards realism. I draw almost exclusively in graphite, with some pen. I have recently started to explore painting. I can draw anything from animals to buildings and cars. I have taught art, Microsoft office and computer programming to both incarcerated adults and youths.

    I have earned my GED, high school diploma and paralegal degree. I am currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer and senior dog trainer through Liberty Dogs. 

    I am still human, an artist, a computer programmer (in 8 different languages, specializing in JavaScript & web design), a dog trainer, a paralegal, a loyal friend, a caring and thorough teacher and mentor, and lastly a convict.

    I am a man still finding out about himself, and who has become free while incarcerated.
