I suppose my inspirations include a few odd conspirators like the chaotic influences of cryptography, prime numbers, and urban decay. I'm also influenced by Eames-era artifacts, retro-modern art, architecture, and advertising. And all these inspirations manifest themselves in the different works I produce.

About half of my work is traditional art - things to hang on walls and intrigue or stimulate people, but I also like infusing art, design, and style into every day objects. Helping people transform their environments into more wild, creative, and inspiring places to be.

I really never approach my art very logically. It’s all fairly impulsive and obsessive. I just try to understand what it means when it’s complete. I like to think of my style as a super-natural fusion of urban graffiti, mid-century modern abstracts, advertising design, and some kind of otherworldly information maps.

Bio:
I was born in Milwaukee, and grew up in the burbs. I had a boyhood dream of being a stuntman, which of course ended as you might expect with a severe head injury. When I recovered, I was wildly convinced that I had crash-landed on the planet, and for the next four years I attempted to move things with my mind, experimented with force-fields, and searched for my lost spaceship.

Since then I’ve been a cryptographer, musician, designer, illustrator, and painter. And I don’t look for my spaceship as nearly as much as I used to.
