About Me


A Journey Through The Mind Of An Artist... My creation period is my place of serenity, my home away from home. My weapon of choice is a Pencil. Realism is my name.. Seconday options of my entouage are airbrush, pastels and charcoals. These are the tools of my trade. Other then being an artist I am a disc-head on the MSU Ultimate frisbee team, as it is my favorite sport. From time to time I like to also play a bit of frisbee golf, which i have been playing for about 7 years or so now, but i prefer Ultimate for its competitive athleticismness and more physical endurence...ness. Heh, halright. I dont like to watch TV too much, but i like to watch movies every once in a while. I spend my sunny days outside, and my rainy days inside. I try to get out as often as I can in the summer. My favorite food is sushi. I have 3 ear pearcings, and 1 tattoo of a RHCP inspired design on my wrist that i created. HERE ARE SOME SAMPLES OF MY WORK. Feel free to send me a message, tell me what you think. Most of these are available in prints apon request.

My Interests


I like to play guitar. My favorite guitar I own is a schecter 006 Terry Corso.

I am a heath and fitness freak. I have heavy interests in health and staying in shape. I love playing Ultimate Frisbee. Here is a picture of my team as we won the tournament in St. Cloud.

I like to do photography at the studio I work at. Here of some of my better works with the camera portraits.

My biggest interest of all is my art. Just look around on my page to see all my samples. Prints are available of most. Just message me with questions.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Anthony Kiedis, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I bet he has allot to tell, and hes my favorite singer of all time. John Frusciante, guitar prodigy. I play the guitar a little bit, so i know that some riffs Johnny plays, HARD. Still havent mastered the chorus line to "Cant Stop". I would also like to meet Zakk Wylde, Mike Einziger & Brando,

and Rich Ward

so they can further my guitaring skills in a mixture of theyre different styles. If i were able to pick one person that i would be able to meet that was not alive at this time, i would pick Bruce Lee. He could teach me something... and i have been a Bruce freek for years.

Music:

Well, my favorite bands are the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Incubus. If you havent yet, i HIGHLY recommend you listen to VAYDEN, Buy their CD immediately!! Some of my other favorite bands are In Flames, Stuck Mojo, AFI Avenged Sevenfold is a great band as well. I also enjoy Nightwish, Seether, Evanescence, Slipnot,

and Extreme to name a few. Nuno is one of the greatest clean speed guitarists alive.

Other bands you might find in my favorite music archives are Chimaira, Nevermore, Dimmu Borgir, Atreyu, Kreatre, In Flames, Soil, Soilwork, All That Remains, Him, Megadeth, Metallica, Keane, Gavin Degraw, Otep, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Killswitch Engage, Children Of Bodom, Lullacry, (Hed) PE, POD, Stuck Mojo and The Duke Rich Ward, Fozzy, Lunatix at Ruthless Records, Mushroomhead, Machinehead, Sub Dub Micro Macines, Crash Test Dummies, Jimmy Eat World, Unwritten Law, The Juliana Theory, Red Tape, Mudvayne, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Rage Against The Machine, Voodoo Glow Skulls (awesome as hell), HIM, Skid Row, Cradle Of Filth, Primal Fear, Kamelot, Lacuna Coil, Black Label Society, The Donnas, Ozzy.... etc.

Movies:

RAMBO: First Blood Part II is the best movie AND soundtrack ever made. Wanna argue about it? Lets go. I also like Sin City and the Evil Dead Trilogy

Lord of the Rings... I like horror films and comedies. But not restricted to just those. Snatch is a great movie. It would take a lot of typing to write down all the movies I like. So we will let it go there for now.

Television:

I really dont watch tv anymore, but certain times of the year I get a great kick out of American Idol. It hurts sometimes. HA. Used to watch WWF religiously though, but now I just dont have much time for TV anymore. Im always trying to better myself in someway instead, sportwise, guitar, or artwork... anything like that i would like to be better at.

Books:

I dont read much. But at the moment I am in the middle of Scar Tissue, the Anthony Kiedis autobiography. I like to read informative or learning books... how to's, stuff like that. Im always wanting to learn more about the things im interested, always want to be able to do more. So i dont read for enjoyment, I read to learn.

Heroes:

My Heros Are Anthony Keidis, and Bruce Lee.
