I currently split my time between Portland, OR, Yosemite, CA, and Marshall, MI... Although, I am not able to do this evenly yet., Yosemite National Park, United States
I am the kid squirming in his seat with drawings on his desk and arms and notebooks. I grew up in Michigan and watched all four seasons revolve about 25 times. Then to Yosemite... Then to Portland... Back and forth a few times. Now I'm 30 and still draw pictures. Sometimes for money, most of the time for sanity. You'll see two sides of me here, maybe more. There are sunsets and mountains. Severed heads and rotting cities. Both sides of the bed in the morning. Me.... for better or for worse.
These are all drawings or paintings with the exception of studio photos (c'mon, do you really think I have the patience to draw my cluttered studios?). I work from real life and sometimes use the crutch of photography for my images. They have been done at different times and are in no order as of yet. My artworks are not manifestos they are nearly snap shots of an idea or emotion I had at one time or another. Also, they are in no way intended to insult christians, jesus, TV (especially Seinfeld re-runs), McDonalds (actually, yeah, "F" McDonalds), or Mel Gibson (no, seriously, see Beyond Thunderdome with Tina Turner). I am just a normal guy with an axe to grind.
Usually, I live in a small apartment or cabin which means I sleep and lounge in my studio. This is a photo of where I lived in the Clinton neighborhood of southeast Portland.
