Somewhere between my "carny" dad and the Elvis shrine my mom
built, I arrived
appropriately here. Fascinated and inspired by
Neon lights, Myth ology,
Folk Music,
and Wanderlust.
Around 2004, I decided to leave the cubicle and run away with
the circus. I didn't learn to swallow swords, but I did get
serious about painting while working with the family carnival.
My experiences finally came together while on an American road
trip, the neon lights, roadside oddities, and kitschy American
culture beckoned me. They tell a tale conjoined to my own and I
love every bit of it.
Allow me be the first to welcome you to this Mythological
Sideshow, where extraordinary creatures and their stories come
ALIVE. My wish is for you to laugh, to gasp and to find a
familiar sensation in each beautiful tragedy. Please delight
your eyes in this menagerie of
life's most mysterious tales.
I've available for commissioned performer banners as well. I've
recently finished a
Commission for "Reverend Wolf", a Sword
swallowing, Fire eating "geek" extraordinaire.
Here's to making
Art!
