Visual artist working in surreal drawing and line‑driven figurative forms.
I create character‑based and figurative work that merges traditional technical drawing with more experimental street and urban art techniques.
Splashed with ink, littered with graffiti and framed by industrial materials, these works explore distortion, tension, and personality through line. My practice spans ink, mixed media, and limited tattoo releases.
I’m a visual artist working primarily through drawing. Line, repetition, and character are central to my practice, with a focus on surreal figures and altered anatomy.
Most of my work begins on paper and develops through re‑drawing and refinement. Some pieces remain drawings, while others become prints, mixed‑media works, or limited tattoo designs. Across formats, I’m interested in images that feel intentional, slightly unresolved and alive.
I split my time between Michigan and Texas.
Surreal, beautiful and sometimes political.
