About Me

Work from my senior show. "Ode to Eliza"
Picture from the past for those of you that knew me when I was the "King of Beard". I kinda miss it. (Picture was taken at an opening of the end of a great summer ceramics class of 2005, Clarke College)
Im an artist and very experienced with just about any medium. Lately my key centering of image content revolves around prophecy, ethics, genetics and religion. Working out the bugs in the series before I start posting images.
Im the owner and artist of "The Electric Crayon" Skin Art and Gallery located in Epworth, IA. Thats 15 minutes west of Dubuque on HWY 20. Im trying to change the stigma that is usually associated with tattooing. I will also offer fine arts and fine craft made by myself and local artists. The whole establishment is remodeled and has a modern art deco twist.

Question for anyone who may know: My great aunt is Dorothy Matteson/Foster formally from Wisconson but lived in Chico, California. I was told she was a well known artist on the west coast in her time; she pasted away in 2005 in her 80's before I had the chance to meet her. I only have a couple of artworks created by her, a portrait of a great, great grandmother and a couple still lifes. If anyone has any info I would appreciate your help, thank you
