About Me


London based visual artist who triumphantly mixes fashion,costume and uniform with the mundane and commonplace of modern life, resulting in a supermarket assault on the senses.Born in the UK, he was raised as a strict Mormon, developing strong visual interpretations of symbolism and iconography.This acclaimed Underground artist creates his work with a computer,and has been exhibited and published worldwide.

'Paintings which combine Marie Antoinette with the mundane, guns with geishas and biological scientific drawings with beauty, in an eerie yet exciting way'.-KCTV

'Open-legged porn models with gun turrets for heads and bloody anatomical aberrations sit next to bat-winged fashionista demons sporting nazi spiked helmets,as they devour shopping trollies full of 'Tesco' no frills bacon rashers and McDonald burgers all framed with a renaissance tableau!' - ALTERNATIVE MAGAZINE

'Punk rock for the Art world...' - VOLTCASE MAGAZINE
