Statement
As an artist, balancing myself between a commercial and fine arts seasaw has been my main goal.
I've been influenced by some many things growing up, from cartoons,comic books to graffiti
art that I cant be satisfied with doing just one type of work.
Erotic art also plays a major role
in my work which seems to flipflop in between both fields. I like the challenge of coming up with ways
to story tell with my images, if not I would just have settled for a boring Nine to Five along time ago and quit this crazy business.
