About The Artist
Ray Owen Jr "AutPops"
I grew up as an artist. With a long history of being allowed to explore creativity in any form I could find. I developed a wide range of skills and over time settled on sketch, water and writing color as my three favorite. Now as a single father I find my self falling back to those skills to try and provide a future and support my two children.
Working with my children over the years has re-ignited the fire in me for art. Both of my children are non verbal, severe autistic. They have taught me to look at the world through a new perspective. Reminded me how beautiful the things we take for granted can be. So I have decided to dedicate my art and store to them. The name AutPops came from a history of gaming and several gaming friends seeing me as sort of a gamer dad. A few of them started calling me Pops. So I took up the name of AutPops. It stands for Autism Dad. My children have taught me so much. I my dream is to make sure they can enjoy life to its fullest. So in that goal I have build AutPopsart.com and Will continue to work to grow and promote this store for them and their future.
