I am an American award winning artist from Pittsburgh Pa. Born in 1980 and living in a small town of North Huntingdon I gravitated to cartoons, action figures, and using my imagination. While growing up in the 80s and 90s I used my imagination to draw things as I saw them. Drawing my figures differently or how I would like to have seen them, or drawing weird creatures that I imagined appearing out of my window window at night. Even to this day I’m still drawing creatures that don’t exist. 

My artistic influence started at a young. The beginning of what is now, it started with watching Bob Ross. In the later years I fell in love with Hip Hop, basketball, BMX, and skateboarding. Hip Hop is a big part of my life, while listening to music I pictured snapshots of art associated with the music. This led to a love for graffiti and the freedom of the graffiti culture. Finding more artists to be inspired from that were untraditional and the artists that would be considered to be misfits. 

Since 2013, after picking up the art supplies it has lead m to create almost everyday . From 2013 to around 2016 I was creating pop art. Using mainly spray paint and stencils. Painting in this style gave me many opportunities to show my work. This also helped me start gaining a following on social media. I’ve since moved on to creating original artwork and using different mediums. Like acrylics, oils, oil pastels, spray paint, oil pigments, inks and other materials that he can incorporate in my paintings. 

My work now consist of memories of his childhood. Finding the moments that are hidden by adulthood. I like to explore my insecurities I had as a child and as an adult apply them to my subjects. Having two young kids is something that inspires me. I watch how they interact and finds glimpses of myself as a kid. I love to paint with my kids, and they have taught me to have fun and enjoy it. This has resulted taking a new approach to my art and painting for myself. It’s not for the likes on social media, it’s all about his release he gets through his art. 

I am an artist that paints for himself. My paintings are how I see the world through my eyes. My artwork is my words, my memories, thoughts, and my secrets.
