Euless, Texas
I'm a Fort Worth native and my interests are travelimg the world with my wife and doing Art amongst other things. I'm currently building my work around media that inspires "CULT" followings. The media that my work draws from could be about ancient history, books, movies, tv shows, music, etc.. In most of these cases it is almost always obscure/non-mainstream media. My process consists of extensively researching the desired subject I want to work on, choosing what to include from my research, and creating the art the way I see it in my mind. I love to draw realistic and nonrealistic figures using dynamic perspectives. I tend to spend a lot of time on small details, but most of the time that is where the fun is for me. The work I am doing now on cult followings are meant to convey my personal interpretations of the media I am inspired by.

What does Deep ellum mean to me?

I have been going to deep ellem since I was a teenager 20 years ago. I have watched this area grow and change over time in amazing ways. It has continued to be a haven for artist, great food, and a gathering place for music lovers. My first artshow in over 15 years took place at the Deep Ellum Art Co for the Pancake and Booze Art Show and that has set ne on this path of renewed passion for sharing my art.
