I was born in Chicago in 1977. I started
drawing at a very young age and would frequent the galleries of Chicago as a
child. My interest in art was then pushed in a different direction when in the
late eighties early nineties I was introduced to graffiti. That took up
most of my time for the seven or eight years that followed. The next facet of
my creative interest was etched in 1994 when I was handed an issue of Tattoo
magazine. That resulted in my first tattoo flash set. After devoting almost
all of my artistic time to creating flash sets for the next few years, I began
doing work for local and unsigned bands in Chicago and the surrounding areas.
Looking to step up to the next level I picked up a paint brush and began painting
in 2001 and that has proven itself as my passion.
Besides my acrylic work I continue to do flash sets and on occasion execute
custom work for those requesting it.. I draw definite influence from the likes of horror movies,
religious iconography, architecture and circus sideshows as well as many artists
whos work I sincerely appreciate including Chris Mars,Guy Aitchison, Augustus
Rodin, H.R. Giger, Timothy Hoyer, Todd Schorr, Paul Booth, Chet Zar and Salvador
Dali just to name a few.
In addition to the work I've done for bands, my work has appeared in magazines such asTattoo
Flash, Under Cover and Black Oak Media. I have been part of various group and solo gallery exhibits
throughout the states including the Dirty Show 2006 in Detroit. As I continue
to grow as an artist I have begun taking part in many collaborative projects
in an effort to expand my artistic vocabulary. In my current work I find myself
elaborating a bit more and focusing on conveying specific messages. The setting and specific palette have become increasingly important to me.
