About Me:
Raised by technology, but still remember a time without it. I’m from the rare of X generation, with clear sense of what the 'Real' World is. Today’s youth are a product of new age entertainment innovations designed to ruin their perception and make them lazy. Constant tangents and distractions, motivation levels become low, while Potential is high. Feeling like I’m a colossal machine trying to run on a 9-volt battery. Education is my vessel; fame is my white whale. I am a cyborg with fundamental human characteristics. Perhaps there are Glitches in my programming but I have chosen to bypass them in the past. My time is spent working and doing stuff and thinking about doing the stuff I know I should be doing. My mind thinks much too much for my own good.
I'm an artist, visual designer, writer, blogger, music lover, geek mixer, bon vivant, culture jammer, early adopter, I Paint self-indulgent art pieces. I read, I write, I research, take photos, create images, and re-imagine reality. I create, reuse, remix, mashup, publish, share, syndicate, comment, and tag with abandon and aplomb.
I give 100% in everything I do: But never believe it was enough:
I’m perpetually chasing a non-existent white ghost of “PERFECTION”.
Consistently rearranging every detail: If the devil is in the details: Then I’m Satanic!
Now days I try and surround myself with people that aren't completely lacking as far as intelligence goes.
People that possess that rare quality of having both brains and inner beauty.
I surround my self with people of all aesthetics and within every branch of the social hierarchy. the world is a cold and judgmental Darwinistic jungle. I'm not even slightly concerned of what you're perceived as by neurotypicals. whoever you are: I love you : it's called empathy: I won't dichotomize us based on arbitrary 'differences': We're all in this existential struggle together.

About My Art:
My inspirations always stems from flare, flash and magic of music, movies, sports and fashion and I always try to capture the bare essence of all those elements into each piece.
Majority of my paintings are oil on large canvas, classified as POP ART or Modern art.
Until Just recently all of my art resembled the work of Andy Worhal, who had been the enthusiasm behind my paintings from the beginning.
But in 2017, I wanted to break that mold & do something totally different & find my own style & signature type of art. I made a decision to stop accepting any more commission work & start searching & building my own unique Collection. A definitive of everything I love.
I call my 2 signature collections:
- Engrave Series
- LED Light series
: : Engrave Series : :
Engravers inspired this collection. Specifically steel engravers. The practice of incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface printing plate by cutting grooves into it with a steel-cutting tool. The printing plates used for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations; these images are also called "engravings". Engraving is one of the oldest and most important techniques in printmaking.
Combining the style of an engraving of smooth uniform contour lines to present my art in a unique way. it has been was a 3-year journey. With many trials & errors and a fairly long learning process. Final product here is using Plexiglas a plastic material also known as acrylic glass as the surface for the art with acrylic paint as the medium.

Due in part for my love of technology I Incorporated LED lights for a more dramatic look & WOW factor on a series of art pieces painted on wood & Plexi glass.
