Hi! I am a California based Illustrator (known for my pin ups and monsters vs Tech images), Graphic Designer ( I love creating wine and beer labels as well as logos) who loves to "paint" with torn paper from vintage magazines to create unique collage art. When I'm not in the mood for collage, I like to paint in a loose style images inspired by current events. I paint over papered ( vintage Playboy, Comic books, Life Mag, etc from 1940-70s) reclaimed skateboard decks which every 6 boards I buy, saves 18lbs from going into the landfill!

I've been drawing my entire life so pretty much self taught. After high school, I attended a community college for a few semesters and ended up working full time in the automotive industry illustrating parts of various cars. After moving to California, I started working for a small design agency where I learned all about the graphic design business. After a few years, I started out on my own and still to this day, design beer, wine labels, logos and other fun projects for local clients and others from all over the world.
