About Me

music and art are what keep me goin. i don't know where i'd be without either one. i'm trying to live the dream and do something with both. i'm currently doing all the artwork for 2 main groups here in the raleigh area, Inflowential and Kooley High, as part of M.E.C.C.A. Records. our goal is to put life back into the music and give the people something that means something once again. i've also done work for count bass d, 9th wonder, and cesar comanche. much more on the way. i also love photography. i use pens like hallucinogens.
