I am an artist currently located in Pittsburgh, PA. I graduated from Temple University in 2001 and use my degree as source of constant self amusement.You may ask me why I opted to get a communications degree and my answer would be a blank stare followed by an exploding M80 which would give me time to escape into a dark alleyway where I could sob unashamedly.

My influences are nature, pattern-based medieval artwork, comical violence and uncomfortable situations.

I am currently stuck working for my dad at his autobody/ inspection station. I knew nothing about cars before this job but decided to help my father since he helped my not starve while I was growing up. I am waiting in anticipation of getting fired or being allowed to quit so I can move onto things that I don't suck at. Although I must say that the frustration of this job along with the physical and mental scars it has bestowed upon did get me back into artwork. So I guess I must shake its clammy, mangled hand and thank it. I've been there since 2004...good god.
