I create art because it helps me escape reality and express myself further then words can describe.

My favorite art to create is digital graphic art with bold imagery and heavy line work. I specialize in the Dark and creative all of my artwork comes from my own imagination and experiences. I am 100% self taught other then color theory and composition from high school art classes that inspired me to find my own unique style.
Where do you find inspiration?Majority of my inspiration comes from heavy metal music and album artwork, also Being in bands for over ten years and creating artwork for my own bands. I also take Inspiration from street artists and tattoo artists. My biggest inspiration is always staying creative and using my brain to bring something into this world that wasn’t here yesterday. It doesn’t matter how busy you are or if anyone pays attention it only matters that you express yourself without thinking there is something to prove.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000 I would use that money to finally bring my dreams of designing my own apparel with artwork designed by me and my wife to life. I would also use that money to put a down payment on a house for me and my wife to start our own family and build a future that is filled with love, creativity, music, self expression, laughter and animals!
