Old-School Style Prints & Originals
A mixture of different worlds. By taking elements from mythology, folklore, literature, and dreams, and filtering them through my experience in traditional Americana tattooing, I hope to create images that can convey a small bit of story, and retain power and timelessness.

Pareidolia Paintings
When I was younger I would stare at the clouds and wonder how distinct edges can appear to emerge from vapor – there are no actual boundaries, but at some point our eyes just decide there is one. I like to imagine my paintings inhabit the same imaginary space, and that some are close-ups or pan-outs of different parts of this play universe defined only by color and what you & I make of it. The only rule by which I abide is to make anything resembling brush strokes disappear as much as possible, so that any perceived delineations have to do with where you, the viewer, see one color end and another begin.

Photographer
In my photography, I create a new reality by seeing the world in a graphic context. The lines and shapes of the world can be used in a creative way to create one’s own compositions; and when I take a picture I do not feel asif I am moving, but the world is moving around my camera.
