# About me
I've always been fascinated by striking pieces, whether they be illustrations, paintings, sculpture - you name it. When I was a small child I used to try and imagine what the artist felt like when he/she created those works of art. Was it a feeling of satisfaction? Pride? Emptiness?I started as many of us have, by copying what I saw. I would rip out pages from magazines, books, collect comics (only if the covers were sic) and I would copy. I felt as though I would never be good enough to come up with anything of my own that would make me feel the same sense of personal accomplishment, like the art I had just copied.
By high school I was very good - at copying other people work. I explored some original ideas for our yearly school magazine, but it wasn't until I went to college that I really stepped out of my creative shell and began to explore my own imagination...it's not a happy place. The work was very dark and filled with religious symbolism. K-8 of Catholic school really did a number on me. My art was offensive, insulting and hideous (these were the nice comments) - I was in love.
Since then I have experimented with comics, 3D rendering and animation, sculpture and my latest love, painting.
Obviously this isn't the whole story, but it gives you a glimpse into the head of what made these images. My intent isn't to shock you, impress you or disgust you. I create in order to give birth to what lives in my head. The things I've carried in the dirty little corners of my mind want to be seen. They know that once they've been seen, they can never be unseen.
I hope you like my pieces, but more than anything I hope they give you nightmares.
