ABOUT: I eat walls for breakfast

I paint and draw what I like and love. I don't think my art is anymore phenomenally profound beyond the immense magical and mysterious existence of Life itself. 

I used to believe I had a message or duty as an artist; less so as I get older. I just love re-presenting the beauty one can find in this world, giving more delight for eyes to perceive. 

Art is one of the oldest things humans have done and I feel like I'm just aligned with that, whatever it means.

I'm probably a draughtsperson more than a painter. I love painting, but I love drawing more. And tattooing is the next level - the skin is the most incredible canvas, and! I get to draw.

I had a mantra for a while: "I eat walls for breakfast."

Meaning: I love painting on big walls.

I am open to commissions.
