Statement

Through my artwork I like to really focus on the human and figurative aspects of my narrative pieces while having fun with subject matter and medium. Influences are my personal experiences as a black man and my relationships with my friends and family. I also like to incorporate my love of cinema as well, whether it's through my color choice, composition etc. As an Illustrator/ Painter the material I use have a broad range, from digital painting to traditional paints, ink, and dry medium
