My Background

I’ve always drawn. Then I went to art school, San Francisco Art Institute which formed the beginnings of my art life. For almost 30 years I’ve been a tattoo artist but now I’m taking my talents to other art directions. Finishing my MFA at Academy of Art University will lead me to more artistic endeavor.

My Medium

My Inspiration

My Background

I draw . I draw with pencils, -Amstel really anything. For 30 years as I said I’ve been tattooing so my medium was ink and the human skin. I’ve started using digital media Photoshop Adobe and such to develop the work I do I still find a hands-on traditional media approach much more enjoyable than anything else. I have always love painting.

My Inspiration

I’ve always enjoyed taking a client vision and bring it to life for a long time that was giving the client a tattoo they wanted . so so my clients are my inspiration. Now I’m trying to be more creative on my own and bring more of my personal vision to my work. I love playing with my sons and riding motorcycles.

I love drawing, Children’s book art, Traditional and Progressive Tattoo art
