About Me



I make socio-politcal art using primarily graphite on paper. My art is photorealism merged with pop culture symbolism and is typically multi-layered. I currently reside in NYC where I spend my days drawing, reading, walking aimlessly, and recycling other people's trash for my own artistic purposes.
