| Introduction | When I was a little kid there were 2 things that made sense to me more than anything else: creating and exploring. My crayons and pencils seemed to catch my imagination as much as meandering though the fields and woods that surrounded my childhood home in Wisconsin. It was in 1996 at UWO that upon finishing my first piece ever, a portrait of a gorilla, I discovered my love for painting. In 2003 a one-way cross-country road trip brought me to So. California and it was there, amidst the culture and roads of the Southwest, that my artistic voice began to take shape. During this time my days were spent working as a graphic designer, however, most nights would find me burrowed away in my studio garage pounding Red Bull or black tea, or both, and staying up til all hours painting, drawing, writing, and tweaking my master plan for taking over the world. In 2008 that ‘master plan’, took my girlfriend and I on a 44 day road trip from San Diego to DC and, with one-way tickets in hand, we boarded a plane bound for Argentina. Today we currently live in Buenos Aires where my brushes and I push ever further on into the laughter, darkness and everything in between that makes up life. |
