ARTIST STATEMENT
I define my art as a modernistic approach to an ancient Japanese Woodblock style. With an almost, tattoo look, my art specializes in a multiculturalism, not solely Japanese, it’s their style of art that is key, heavy black lines and vivid colors are the basis.
My most well known piece is a 25ft Koi fish scene that resides at the San Diego International Airport, Terminal One. It was created by my most traditional way of combining hand drawn and inked boards with digital coloring.
My influences are Kuniyoshi, Sailor Jerry, Frida Kahlo, Graffiti art, and Tattoo art.
