Brief Summary
I am a Michigan State Alumni – with a BFA in Painting and Graphic Design. I have always had some sort of drawing utensil in my hand, but currently my obsession is Sharpie Markers and spray paint. I keep my work current and fresh, and often satirize the news and world around me. I also like to paint/illustrate my subjects on unusual things, such as car hoods, street signs, and lately collaged book pages. You may also find a handful of my work at The Funkyard Cafe in Fountain Square and at Starbucks on Mass Ave!
