About me:

I'm a visual artist (acrylic painter), graphic designer, and story board artist.

Personality: I'm definitely relaxed and easy going. Probably one of the calmest people you'll meet. Not serial killer, lazy-eyed unemotional calm, but you'll will have to go out of your way to piss me off. Artwise: I'm a realist. I love the human figure, and linework.

My style:The linework comes from comics. A long time ago I tried self publishing which was way too much work, but the love of detail and line work stayed. So, I took those elements, and looked at other cultures who embraced similar things and started making paintings around them. Much of my early work is inspired by Mayan cultre, but I've been branching out to Middle Eastern, and now I'm starting to look at ancient Japan. I'd love to visit these places one day, especially Andalusia.



NEWS:You can read about some of my inspirations, messages in the art, and more from a recent interview with Gabrielle Faust here

I'll be one of the artists at the Pecan Street Art Festival this MAY 2-3! this will be my first time there as an artist and I'm looking forward to unveiling a number of new works.

My new shirt, "Bled Dry" has been released. It is a single color (natural) cotton shirt with a deep red ink. This run is only 24 shirts in sizes M-XL, so get yours now!

Who I'd like to meet:

Pretty much anyone that is laid back, likes art, loves music, and enjoys a good drink. I'm also looking for a good co-pilot. Someone who can read a map, and keep the conversation flowing while on road trips. I like running around through the hill country and visiting small towns.I am no longer accepting friend requests without some sort of message attached.
