I am a cable generation insomniac. While the world slept, the 80's cable networks pushed the weird, horror, sci-fi, and cult areas of pop culture to the late evenings /early mornings. Combined with a love for female fronted bands from the punk, new-wave, and grunge eras, and you have where I draw most of my inspiration for my art. With drag culture and make up artists saturating social media with images of their art, I have found influence from them.
​
Working for over 20 years in digital art, the style has evolved, while maintaining an inspirational wave that ties each image together. My art is in the layers. While the 3D models set the tone for the image, the layers of textures bring the image to life.
I often get compared to big eye artists of the 50's and 60's. Yes, thank you! I love the Big Eye movement and the what it meant to the art world in regards to mass production. Due to the mass production, big eye art was in many of my family and friend's homes in the 70's and 80's.
