# About me
A tree lived. I donβt know where and I donβt know when. Over time this tree branched out in random organic direction. This tree grew in a fractal pattern and grew to a random size. It was cut down at a precise height and sent to a mill where it was divided into slabs of specific proportion. These different slabs were transported to places you will never know and further cut down by different objects to deliberate specifications. Eventual pieces of the pieces crossed my path at a given place and a given time. Presented with only a small piece of the once breathing life form, a particular section of grain of a particular cut out section of this particular slab of wood from somewhere, somewhen, and somehow, my subconscious happened to see recognizable shapes and images based on the grain and layout of knots. So I drew what I saw.Stone has a similar life story. I have a similar life story. It is vastly more complex and I could waste yours and my time writing pages about why I see what I see, why I think the way I do, and why I draw what I draw. Ink, stone, colored pencil, wood, and time all converge in a balance of design; dictated by my subconscious and translated into recognizable language. Pulling inspiration from a myriad of angles, my subconscious mind respects, dissects, and cultivates the differences between to fuses them into one. I push for the contrast yet maintain harmonic balance of elements, which are always present. The result is a mixture of elemental solids and ideas influenced by my experiences, my discipline, physical and metaphysical observation, connection, thought, geometric thought, touch, and crafted expression. This collision of timelines of the living universe presents my current artwork.
At the core be art and listen to the wind. Follow where it goes and float where it blows. Balance in the uncontrol, organic fractal rhythm, and the unforgiving random is key to the happiness of perspective.

Thank you for contacting me. However, you contacted me AFTER publishing my work which is unacceptable. It is called CONSENT. You ASK FIRST, then with my permission, you may proceed. I did not give you permission to use my art for any publication purposes. Nor are you providing an accurate link to said works in your publication.
This is a cease and desist. Remove my artworks from your publication immediately. If even a single issue of this publication has been sold for profit I demand a royalty payment for use of my copyrighted imagery. I will follow up on this.

let the wood speak for itself. dont ignore the grain and knots, use them to your design advantage. allow the grain to manipulate your preconceived design elements. and most of all, dont over think it, just do it.

Hello ^^
I absolutly love your artwork!
I have started a project and wanted to ask you if you want to participate.
I want to create a book that travels around the world, from one deviant to an other. Each deviant can add his part to the book, a drawing, poem, a little story, photos, etc.
I want to reach every corner of the world with this book, to see how wide our network reaches, to let other people see how wide we are connected, to let them be able to touch, to hold the proof in their hands.
Are you interested?
