​

I've been developing my skills in various forms of art and design since grade school, and enjoy any sort of tangible item as a medium. In short, anything is a canvas to me... it's my dedication to detail and personal customization for anyone requesting to create unique and original pieces.

 

As I continue to improve and challenge my skills, I never say no to any kind of medium. I simply enjoy taking a bulleted list of thoughts, ideas, feelings, perspectives, and "favorites" from a single individual and forming an image from the collective on whichever medium they choose. So do not hesitate to reach out to me for collaborating on a piece you have in mind

(see contact page)

 

The majority of my artwork is done free-hand, with a variety of tools. Even logos and digitally finalized designs originally start from a free-hand drawing/sketch.

Main Message to My Audience: 

Anything can be a medium for art. Whether your skin, a canvas, a helmet, a skateboard, a table or other furniture piece that has been in your family's keep growing up... these are all platforms to express detailed, intricate and personal designs that further help to express who you are. I gain a lot of my inspiration for art and creativity through traveling, hiking, motorcycling/riding trips, and various other activities in nature that motivates me to see more of this world we live in. From my travels I always strive to integrate my experiences, as well as natural tokens I collect, into all of my art pieces and jewelry, while still capturing the main details and sentimental aspects of my customers/collaborators in the piece.
