Background:
Born in Seattle, raised in the Puget Sound Region, currently down in Phoenix, AZ. Started making stuff when I was younger than I am now, somewhere in the first few years. The inspiration was probably the fact I had crayons and a piece of paper put in front of me. Thanks Mom, thanks Dad. Tried a couple of mediums, your colored pencils, washable markers, but my fondest creative memories of back then revolve solely around Lego’s. I fully endorse Legos for the betterment of America’s youth. Favorite class in Junior High and High School was Art. Much love to Mr. Maslin and Ms. Avery. Decided in High School I wanted to be an artist, and go to art school - art schools are expensive. Graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor in the Fine Arts. Go Dawgs. Had a great time along the way and learned a ton, no regrets in the least. Thank you teachers, thank you peers. I’m not sure what’s next, but I know that more than likely I’ll be making something.
Thanks,
