Figure study- Feb 2012
"You are rockin' this Brother :) Your form is tight and how you are working with edges is quite nice. It would be nice to see some juxtaposition of soft and hard edges to help with a focal point though. Think Inges, or even more…"

The B - Side
In most urban street circles, b-side has come to be known as the more "real" or "true-to-the-streets" recordings of an artist. Ones that are less "main-stream" and less endulging of censors critics and airplay. This group is about the discovery of Innovative Music.See More

Artist Statement
My work aspires to fuse beauty and substance into a union that is purposeful, contemplative and designed to teach, encourage and provoke. Technically my art is a multilayered, mixed media combination of painting, symbolism, and text; while conceptually being visual parables, revealing deeper meanings to those who can discern them. For me, truly great art is both technically and conceptually engaging; all technique without solid concepts lead to empty “pretty pictures”, while all conceptual consideration without approachable technique, leads to utter confusion. My art seeks to unify the two and to speak to the hearts of everyday people. Ultimately I am here to elevate Christian art from a state of mere sentimentality into an expression of transformative visual praise. Both sound technique, and engaging concepts are inseparably fused in my work. Both assist me in expressing ideas that have the power to significantly engage culture, that is why my work continually seeks to marry the two.
