Myopia started as a fun exploration of microscopic critters, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the world in which the live. But too not long after I started the project it found its way into becoming a tiny video game.

There’s something quite fascinating about Aztec and Mayan art. I imagined a new mythology where the beasts battled the humans to get the Light. The Lightbearer is the protector and keeper of the Light, and spends his life battling the beasts that would devour it.

Oni are a type of mythological Japanese demon or monster. They are featured prominantly in sculpture in and around many temples in Japan. The images here, are my own take on the faces.

My senior thesis art show in college was an exploration of the theme of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Since then, I find myself revisiting this theme often.

Sometimes I like to play with the simple relationships of colors and shapes, without the need to tell a story, or follow a certain subject matter. A lot of times these explorations can inform further works. But sometimes they just act as meditative breaks.

Just after college, I moved to Los Angeles. I rented an industrial space with high ceilings, and decided to hold gallery shows there, every few months. Introspective was one such show.

The idea started as a joke. In the art world, a retrospective was a type of gallery show celebrating an artist’s life and body of work. As a new artist, there would be no “retrospective” for my work. Instead I thought it’d be fun to do an “introspective”, as a series of self-portraits and explorations.

I’m not sure if it was a successful project, but it was definitely fun to do.

Persona is a continuation of my old project, Introspective. It picks up 20 years after that project, following the same themes of self and identity.

One lazy Sunday, my girlfriend, Sam, and I decided to do some painting. I ended up making two little abstract yellow paintings that I liked. Later I ran those paintings through a variety of AI models and let the computer create variations.

Cabbagehead started with a single sketch. I found an old book of dolls and dedicated a sketchbook to illustrating my versions of them. One of the dolls had a cracked, peeling head, that I drew as a sort of leafy, layered texture. Later I used this image to form new hybrid images with a website called Artbreeder.

ORB is a simple exploration of textured spheres in 3D space.
