Name: Jack Danyá Kemplin
DoB: April 18th, 1984. bio: I was born on April 18th,
1984 in Fresno California, where
I lived until I was thirteen. at that age my family moved to Arizona for medical reasons.
That being the time of my teen years, the supposed start of my adult life,
that is where my life, as everyone else's does at that age, took its major
turns. I had always been interest in art, ever since my early years, when I
was young they had no little boys in my neighborhood in which for me to play
with, so instead of doing what most little kids do for fun, I always just
staid in my room & drew, I was doing that for as long as I could
remember. My Freshman year in high school I went into Mr. Wards art
class. His teaching was amazing & he was very strict, he changed the entire
way I draw & conceive art. He shaped my art for what it has become. Well
in his art class I entered some of my works into several art shows in which
some were featured in galleries. I took his art class from Art1 to Art17,
normally he only has classes Art1 - Art8. My art has never been good enough
for him, but that is expected from him, he was my teacher after all, & he
always wanted me to strive higher then what I thought I could. |

I also took Drama for four years, & took English for six years, always
getting As & Bs in English because I have long excelled in English class despite
having a learning disability from the time I was very young. I learned how to
read & write on my own first by reading comic books, then graphic novels,
then real novels, especially the classics; I now have college level reading
skills & have had them since I was in the 7th grade.
The Crucible, Readers Of The Round Table, & Dots, are just some of the
plays I have acted & starred in over the years, some of them school
related, some professional. My favorite to date is one of the school
productions, it was The Crucible where I starred as one of the key characters
Rev. Hale, a major character in the story. It was fun & great, leaving me
with many friends from the cast & crew.
