10px; color: white; text-align: center;]all about me 10 facts only child son of eugene stranaghan, a well-known and successful surgeon is extremely artistic, and has been since he was a child. he's won many awards for his art, always pushed into contests by elementary and high school teachers who called him an 'artistic prodigy'. despite his love for art, to appease his father, he planned on going to university to become a doctor. his entire way was paid by his parents, he wouldn't had had to worry about any student loans... but he dropped out in his first year of medical school, just before finals of his first semester. his parents never saw art as a reasonable career path, so his decision to drop out of a 'successful career' didn't sit well with them. they still speak to him, but cut off all funding for his lifestyle. he's been on his own for over a year, 'self-employed'. he does street art, accepts donations from passers by, does caricatures for those who want them, etc. he sees '$0" more often in his bank account than he'd like, but it works for him. has gone to jail as a 'repeat offender' for graffiti four times. strangely enough, two of the locations he 'defaced' have kept his art on the wall. isn't the most social butterfly, preferring enjoyable conversations to mindless drunken partying. loves children works on actual artwork to sell in his studio, hoping to someday make it big. 9 significant artworks the firetruck he drew in first grade, after going on a tour of the firehall with his class. his teacher noticed it and hung it up in the hall, this was when all of the teachers of his elementary school began to take notice of him. the fallen soldier. this is a poster that he made in third grade for a remembrance day contest. it won first place all the way up to state level, where it placed second. the first contest he ever won. the bluejay. in fifth grade he drew this as a present for his mother for mother's day, in class when given work time. his teacher loved it. his classmates loved it. other staff members loved it. his mother looked at it, said 'thank you', and placed it on the counter. three days later he found it in the garbage. the sunset. made in eighth grade, it's an entire painting now hung front and center across from the entrance of his elementary school, complete with a small plaque with his name and details on it. almost ten years later, it still hangs there proudly. the staff. not so much an artwork as many artworks, in grade nine he was approached by some grade twelves to draw a caricature of every staff member in the school, from the principal to the janitorial staff. these pictures were placed up around the school, in each teacher's classroom, as the 'legacy' project of the grade twelve class (along with ky stranaghan). graduation. one of many artworks hung up on the walls of his highschool, done by himself, most people are shocked to know that there was no photo reference for this image. it's a moment in time captured in ky's memory, throwing his grad cap into the air with his classmates, a painting done from his viewpoint of the faces around him and a single grad cap floating down through the sky. some say it looks exactly like a photograph. the desk. it's no shock that university desks have artwork on them, bored students' doodling, but kyle's first year math class' desk, the one at the back of the room that he managed to sit in almost every day of class, it covered in a 'tattoo' of artwork, everything from anime characters to waterfalls, one continuous doodle. when he left univeristy no one had tampered with it yet. the waterfall. his first graffiti work, the first that got him in trouble with the law. it still stands on the side of an abandoned building in downtown myrtle beach, more of a mural than graffiti. he's very proud of it. the park. this is ky's current work, the one hidden up in his studio apartment, the one that no one has yet seen. it's seven feet tall, ten feet wide, and it'll likely tear if he ever tries to remove it from his apartment. it captures the park beyond his building, the view from his window of everyday activities like a grandfather playing with his young granddaughter. he's been working on it for months, and it isn't even half finished yet. 8 traits artistic (duh) gentle kind quiet focused hard-working creative loyal 7 treasured possessions

5 favorite natural scenes sunsets/sunrises waterfalls bodies of water forests fields 4 recent artworks summerplay the view from his window of children playing around a sprinkler in the park across form his apartment. the wolf a wolf stalking through a thick forest at midnight the miracle a young baby wrapped in a blanket, laughing up at their father. the storm a view of myrtle beach's beach mid-hurricane. 3 ambitions become famous and prove to his parents that he isn't wasting his life. have a family. return to university to study art, though seeing as his parents won't pay for it this will be, if ever, a long time down the road. 2 quirks has a habit of trailing off mid sentence, without really completing his thought, and often won't notice unless it's pointed out to him. always has his sketchbook and a pencil with him. always. 1 birthplace myrtle beach
