“…My work can be classified as a little weird, a little creepy, a little whimsical, or a combination of all the above. I was once even told that, if eaten, my art would taste like weird gummy bears. More than anything, my work is here to tell stories, because that is what I love more than anything. I love telling tales of all kinds, and my art is just one of my outlets for that. As you look at my work, imagine what story you could tell with each image, and think of how I could help you tell your stories too. That is all I want in the world: for more stories to be told, for more art to be made by wonderful humans, and for my work to inspire others for good…”
