ABOUT
Life is confusing and strange and amazing and exciting. Everything I see, hear, and think influences my work. I have been drawing since I could first hold a crayon. My dream job as a child was to be a comic strip artist, and at a very early age my mother would buy me books and VHS' on how to be a cartoonist. Not having many friends, forced me to develop a massive imagination. I eventually traded in my crayons and pencils for cans of spray paint and skateboards. Graffiti and skateboarding culture played a huge role in my life as a teenager. My work is combination of life's emotions (fear, happiness, regret, curiosity, etc...) and a desire to explore places in my brain.
