This piece is really special to me, it was a commissioned piece and inspired me to want to do more commissions like this. Each flower represents a different person and how they see themselves as flowers. I would love to do more family portraits as flowers.
This digital painting depicts 3 young women from the Kalbeliya tribe of Rajasthan, India. This nomadic community survives on very little money, but are rich in culture, from their traditions surrounding cobras, and their impeccable fashion sense that blends traditional Northwest Indian style with a kaleidoscopic 1970s flair. While learning about this creative and resourceful group of people, it's impossible not to be in awe.
In an enchanted forest of mycological wonder sits a tiny elf. He lives among the little creatures in a hollow mushroom house. He reads and writes, and doodles his friends. He dances with the fireflies who serve as the light by which he holds hope for the continuous cycle of his little world, full of life, joy and fantasy
This is a new take on an illustration I did back in 2017 of one of my brother's favorite characters, Yusuke, from a game called Persona 5
I enjoy work from the luminism art movement, and I do some work in pixel art. This piece is nothing more than just one of some examples of my appreciation of landscapes that elicit peace. Pixel art's an interesting, niche medium that has unique aesthetics, qualities, and limitations. It's commonly associated with video games but can definitely be used for more traditional themes.
This drawing is a girl enjoying her youth under a lantern filled night.
This piece was inspired by the gray havens from the Lord of the rings. I had the idea of someone I love going somewhere I can't follow yet.
This painting is of a character I created who is a complex and conniving individual veiled deceitfully behind his outer appearance. He is extremely intelligent and pursues his passions through his own sense of justice, while playing mind games in the forefront. He only reveals his true self to those he loves and deems worthy of the responsibility of knowing him wholly.
I made this for a billboard contest in a game called Parkour
This piece features an old western re-design of the character Nicholas D. Wolfwood from the 1995 Japanese Manga: Trigun and its animated iterations.
I was in a bad time in my life when I wrote this song. It's about how I feel my heart is wrapped in barbed wire. How it hurts to move, hurts when people help me, and hurts them back. This is a cover for that song.

Based on a still from the TV series "Angel", this piece portrays a ballerina waiting in the wings for her cue. This piece calls to mind the all consuming nature of professional dance, and just how many sacrifices must be made to pursue what you love. Behind her is written the lyrics to the sing "Ballerina" by nat King Cole. With the forlorn expression on her face, it makes you wonder...Is it worth it?
Based upon and featuring the titular character from the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", I used this piece to explore how closely I could replicate traditional painting using only my free computer art software. With dramamtic lighting and moody colors, this piece is probably the most morose work out of my whole portfolio.
Watercolor piece takes inspiration from the ever growing AI art movement. Below, dancers are spot lighted, posed in a scene from Adam's ballet "Giselle". The ghostly Giselle drapes herself cruciform in protection of her love, Albrecht to protect him from the ever encroaching darkness, with computer binary coding cascading down upon them from above. The translated binary reads a quote from the 2007 science fiction show TERMINATOR: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:
"We all have weak moments. Moments where we lose faith. But it's our flaws, our weaknesses that make us human. Science performs miracles like the gods of old. Creating life from blood cells or bacteria or a spark of metal but they're perfect creatures and in that way they couldn't be less human. There are things machines will never do. They cannot possess faith, they cannot commune with God, they cannot appreciate beauty, they cannot create art. If they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us. They'll be us."
