My good friend, Hannah Kittell, was nice enough to get me some freelance work awhile ago creating a dragon head for a play called “Five Days Till Saturday”. Finally getting around to posting some process work. Here’s some steps that I take working with the papers for a piece.

I'm still alive! These passed couple of months have been crazy but new year new start, right?

Here's a photo that proves I wasn't dreaming when I got asked to show my work in Berlin at the Illustrative Festival.

Bye little buddies, have fun in Berlin!

My hummingbird studies are going to be shown at the Illustrative Festival in Berlin which will open on August 31 until September 8! This is super exciting!

Brooklyn-based artist Jose Suris IV created these awesome masks and sculptures out of paper! Despite looking like real fur, the animals were construct...

This was probably the best thing to wake up to: Juxtapoz and My Modern Met featured my work.

With Pokémon X and Y seemly right around the corner, I may have been swept up in the hype and made a Fennekin wall mount.

Oh man, I'm really excited for this. Just bought taxidermy glass eyes for the project that I'm currently working on. I hope this turns out cool.
