Some pieces for fun…
Some pieces for fun…
Francine - 1986 Chevy C20
This truck was a dream of mine to always own since I was young. I had many adventures across Oregon in Francine camping and road tripping. The deep love I had for this meant she deserved her own piece. This drawing went on to become a screen print of mine.
Pen and Ink - Micron
Ramen Bowl
This piece was done while working as a ramen cook. Having spent time in the kitchen, it has been a place of inspiration. The ingredients that make delicious bowl ramen are drawn as the home they live in.
Digital piece
Bush Vipers
One fascination/fear of mine is snakes. Their very nature is otherworldly. Bush vipers are a group of snakes that have these very unique pointed scales. I drew one of the heads and began to build off of it.
Eventually this enchantment and positive feedback from the first take led me to imagine a world in which these snakes were monsters that would wreak havoc on the world every 100 years.

Digital Piece
80/20
These pieces are part a larger story/graphic novel that couple friends and I are working on. For years I had been batting around this idea in my head and since collaborating has flourished into a more structured tale. I am very drawn to the visual aspect of this story and spend a lot of time thinking about it. World building is quite a task, but as my skills develop more the story will come to life. More to come!
Hand Planner
This commission piece done for a wood shop that I used to work at. While working I began to love the art of woodworking but also saw a chance for me to use my illustration/graphic design skills.
Digital piece
Bicicletta
The bike was drawn as a Christmas present for a friend. I was super happy with the way this one came out with the line work

Eugene Kitchen/ Chicky chicky parm parm
My inspiration for doing this piece came from my time living in college houses and the kitchens with in. Most of them were always dirty, some had stoves that would barley work, just a mess. The first drawing on the right captured this with its dingy look. I eventually decided to make this drawing into a screen print for an original recipe.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore- Florence, Italy
Traveling through Europe was incredibly inspirational experience. The food, culture, old buildings and art were all memorizing. One place that this really highlighted this feeling was Florence.
Il duomo e’ un edificio molto simbolico per la citta de Firenze
For two mornings straight I would wake up early and go to a cafe outside the cathedral sketching the beautiful 376’ marble building. Scattered around are a couple quick sketches I did of some vehicles while on my trip.

MILK CRATE CREATION
Milk crates are perfect piece of plastic; sturdy, stackable and they come in fun colors. MMC was a drawing that I did for myself with the intentions of eventually forming creative group or studio.
