I am an Artist living in the Design District of Miami starting to work full time on my craft. If you wish to contact me for information about a piece for price or availability, or if you'd like to talk about commissioning a piece please do not hesitate to email me at MLRosen1989@gmail.com
I graduated from the University of Miami May of 2011 with a Bachelors of Science in Education; double majoring in Psychology and Human & Social Development. At Miami I received paid work for 2 years as the Staff cartoonist for the Miami Hurricane Newspaper with over 50 newspaper publications. I was also an illustrator and was published in a few magazines like, DISTRACTION and Palmer Trinity. For 2 summers during my undergraduate studies I worked at Island Lake Camp as the Cartooning Instructor and taught groups of children ages 7-16.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work and I hope you come back and check me out again real soon. Have a great day

I awake with a blackened heart
A reminder of pain and tears
A permanent visual memory of suffering
This mark will lead me back to forgotten times
Times that are no longer joyous
This is my tattoo of my own destroyed emotions
The ink drives itself lower
Attaches to my very soul
It is buried far beneath my flesh and to remove it would leave me empty
I have been scarred by beauty
And cursed by love
I hope it will get easier
I walk along with the crowd with my heart painted over
Covered by a smile
A smile for my once perfect life
The dark is easier to mask
But a tattoo on the kidney needs time to filter out the pain
Time passes
My family sleeps peacefully as a silent breath slithers into my home.
Fear chills my thick blood as it slowly moves closer.
It stops outside my door.
The muffled breathing turns to a low, hollow snicker.
The door cries as it swings open
The hallway shines a light of darkness onto me
I try to hide myself under my warm sheets
But it knows I’m here.
The figure stands high in the doorway and it waits for me in darkness.
I move towards my open door
With each step my heart pounds louder.
In his face I can only make out the eyes of a dead man
Miserable and empty eyes untouched with emotion.
Sweat drips down my brow.
