About Me



I'm a San Francisco-based graphic artist, illustrator and painter. I own a business called XIII Design, LLC and I design and draw stuff for clients in the music and entertainment industries. I've done work recently for Slipknot, Slayer, Lamb of God, Bullet for My Valentine and many more.
I’ve also launched a line of cool t-shirts at XIIISF.com , so be sure to see those.
Check out my design work at XIII Design, LLC . You can also see my drawings and paintings at www.WeirdArt.com, which MySpace seems to be blocking, so just copy that URL into your browser if you're over 18. Enjoy, I exhort you!
NOTE: Due to MySpace's policy regarding explicit content, some of the images shown below and in my Pics section are of an uncharacteristically tame nature. If you're over 18, head over to www.WeirdArt.com to see the uncensored stuff.
