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.
