My name is Eric Benjamin Lopez, from which I created EBENLO as a suitable artistic amalgam of my given name. E-ric BEN-jamin LO-pez, see? I also call myself "Painter of Song," as I paint musically inclined works as both a music producer and fine artist. Also, https://PainterOfSong.com points to this site! I was born on June 16th, 1976, and raised by a loving family, in the town of Rupert, Idaho.
From my beginning, I liked to draw. But I wasn't exceptionally skilled at it as a young person, I've had to work hard to earn my skills. When I was about 6 years old I carved a pumpkin with Garfield the Cat's face on it. I loved Garfield and I was creating a masterpiece! On the last cut of the piece, my hand slipped on the knife and it cut my right pinky finger severely. I had to have stitches, it was quite an ordeal for a kid (and my mother).
The point of that story is to simply illustrate that though my skills weren't always the best, at the age of 6, I had masterworks on my mind. Still, today, when I make a painting, I always try to outdo myself reaching beyond my former works. And as a side-note, my hand healed, and it works just fine.
