American Pastime Print

I grew up immersed in Florida’s late 80’s & 90’s scenes, making ‘zines, playing music, and building skate ramps every place we could. Late nights of dumpster diving for wood and mornings of cutting transitions, were among my first forays into alternative DIY creativity. Always on the streets skateboarding dropped me into other worlds, one of the most prominent Graffiti. Stemming from the graffiti influence I went into Sign Painting and the Sign Craft, which would set the tone for the next 15 years. My philosophy: Do something different, stretch the boundaries, stand for something. The work is all by-products of the prevalent punk attitude and the observations made of the world around me. Love for traditional techniques mixed with the influence of architecture, art nouveau, and ongoing exploration, has produced a wide range of tangents including graffiti, sculpture, furniture, and folk influenced work. I currently live in Omaha, Nebraska.
