Scooter Gang

This piece is a future pipe-dream.
I wouldn’t need a scooter to fly through
the air but if it did I imagine it might look like this.

What Happens By The Swirly Beach

Personal Project

An illustration based on a day trip to the beach. I watched two grown men
spend hours making a giant swirl pattern in the sand with a sense of urgency.
It was unnerving even.

The Neighbors From Across The Street

Personal Piece
Acrylic, & Colored Pencil

Looking through the overgrown plant life growing outside my
previous apartment windows, became the main inspiration for
this piece. The little spaces in between the leaves created little
mystical portals to the neighbors across the street.

We Are All Good If They Try Hard Enough

For Genius Publishing
Graphite, & Digital

The very talented poet Mike Young, asked me to include my illustration
“The Defiance of Physics” as the front and back cover of his debut collection
of poetry, “We Are All Good If They Try Hard Enough.” It was such a pleasure
to collaborate with Mike.
