Artist | Professional | Varied
United States
Im a 32 year old artist from Elizabethtown, Kentucky. I have been tattooing professionally for almost 10 years, have been painting since my early teens, and drawing since I could hold a pencil. I specialize in monsters, robots, and gaping maws.....along with occasional fan art. I am an illustrator by nature, most comfortable with pen and ink, prisma pencils and markers are my brand of choice. I also work with watercolor and acrylic inks, oils, and have recently started working with gouache. I tinker with comic book ideas, tee shirt submissions, album covers, and character designs.
