About

Born May 17th 1974
Elizabethtown, Kentucky USA

I was raised on a small Amish farm in Kentucky. Later I was kicked out of the community for smuggling in electricity. I now live in a big city called Chicago. Chicago was way cooler before the settlers drove all the American Indians away.





My artwork is ever evolving. Casts of elves, wizards, torture victims, kittens, and drug references routinely cycle through. I'm always looking for new materials, techniques and random seemingly unrelated subject matter. It's like a hairball. Eventually everything finds it's way into it.
