I'm a traveling freelance artist and designer, currently living in Portland, OR. I'm from a small town in Missouri, where I lived off and on until I dropped out of school and began traveling around the country, selling art to tattoo shops and on consignment at local shops and markets, I made money working odd jobs and doing any show or gallery I could get in to, while living any place I could find a couch or rent for that month.My personal work ranges from drawing, painting, music, sculpting, short films, photography and anything else I can get my hands on, the only thing that limits me are free time and resources. Many of my images and concepts are a mixture of psychological elements, aspects of my personality, Ideas, explorations, memories and an illustrated dream diary. All most all of my personal work is rooted in my dreams; I have been referring to it as a type of "Alchemical Surrealism".My work in the public sphere currently ranges from illustrations, theatrical/film design, tattoos, graphic design, DVD/album and promotional art, as well as many commissioned projects, for people and groups around the world.I am fascinated with the laws and limitations of our reality, its nature and how we interact with in it.I have become obsessive with concepts of human psychology, spirituality, consciousness, ritual social behavior and the occult. I collect antique medical paraphernalia, movies, ancient relics and art work, and anything strange, when I'm not studying or working on something, I spend my time traveling or attempting to sleep.I am currently working on a series of photoshoots, a new gallery of surreal paintings, building new altars and many other projects as I am able to, feel free to hit me up with any questions or comments! Fun facts:I'm a high school dropout and failed art class twice.I had intended from about the age of 8 to become a special affects technician and work primarily in cinema, however I have type B color blindness which kinda ruined that whole make up art thing.I have chronic insomnia and rarely sleep more than 20 hours a week, my favored hours of creation are between 12:00am - 3:00am, for some reason I am always inspired around midnight and often paint, draw and etc till dawn.My work has been featured in Dark Realms magazine, the Cover artist for the Spring '09 issue GUD, The Musem of Digital Art in New York, Shadow Nation Gallery in Portland, The Externalist as well as many album and book covers.
