If you are curious. I have made some drawing in the past couple years, but it has really taken a back seat since photography came into the picture. At the same time, I felt like I was reaching the limit of technical skill and needed a different approach to how I looked at and practiced art. I could have either focused on painting or photography. As fate would have it, photography just felt prefect!

If you have commissioned a drawing from me in the past, you might see it here! I am very proud of the work I do, even when I was younger. These are all hand made, one of a kind art pieces. I drew inspiration from many different sources over the many years and I have to thank hundreds, thousands…. truly a countless multitude of people who influenced, inspired, and supported me through out my years. Please enjoy.
