About Me

I am a tattoo Artist living in "The Grid" (down town) Sacramento. I try to stay involved in the art scene here, but the commercialism of my work is minimal. This will eventually change with time and money. Growing up with graphic novels, I'm heavily influenced by artists: Mobius, and Burnnie Wrightson, which is why I enjoy pen & ink the so much. If you go to my pictures in my profile, there is a folder with just my art work.I've lived in Sacto off and on since 84' and have a deep love for its ever-changing Punk, Industrial and underground cultural eccentric music scene, since day one. my Record and music collection is my most prized material possessions.I spend most of my leisure time drawing, painting, reading, playing-around on computers(...of course), going to shows (when I can), spending time with my girl and my kids, and skateboarding. ...no I can't kickflip! Think ditches,down hill, sliding and pools. I build old bikes and I love wasting lots of time at stupid coffee shops.I have work at Sub-Q Tattoo and Piercing studio for 8 years and I LOVE my job!

My Interests
