1st post! Rafin's bio + interview

                                                                          You talkin to me?

( Looking at that pic, you guys think Rafin is trying to get cast for The Matrix in 3D?.........NO)

Yeah I need to Stop. Anyway...

Short Bio

• Born in Bangladesh (SHOUTOUT TO BD!) on Sept. 25th, 2002
• He's lived in different countries: Japan, Australia, and currently in USA.
• At around age 5-6, Rafin moved to Australia for a duration of 6 months
• He didn't like the move from BD to Australia because he left all his favorite people back in BD
• He became quite lonely in Australia, plus he couldn't get any new toys so... he just started drawing.
• Eventually, his drawings started to become more and more detailed, and he actually started to cut the drawings out.  He would play with them as if they were real action figures to keep himself occupied
• He also started constructing houses/lairs for his super heroes...meaning - taking papers or cereal boxes and reshaping them and constructing a model of a regular house for his superheroes to sleep in. Displaying skills as a junior artist as well as an architect...at age 6 that was pretty impressive.  (I'll see if there's one of those houses laying around to post a picture of)
• Soon, Rayfins came to America, and that's when the party started...

- After coming to America, drawing became one of Rafin's favorite activities - usually drawing 1-2 pictures a day.  Btw, I forgot to mention that it's not only hand drawings that he's good at...he's extremely talented at using Microsoft Paint as well. Also, I want to mention that he doesn't trace or copy existing pictures - everything he draws, every detail included in his pictures, all comes from his memory.
