I have been a resident of Des Moines most of my life, and really started to push my artistic skill around high school. I started my apprenticeship as soon as I was 18 and was tattooing by early 2007. I have tattooed in a variety of places all over the United States, and recently started tattooing abroad, for sake of learning other cultures interest in this industry, and to appreciate their own. I have done a good number of conventions, worked with some really great artists and mentors, and learned an incredible amount from the people around me.
I currently like to specialize in a bunch of things. Mind you, I like doing a lot more than what's listed, but the subjects and styles I enjoy the most are black and gray realism, with lots of mythical gods and creatures, warrior men and women, various faces of detailed characters. Varied line weights, with deep contrasts. I also love doing color. I love doing outer space, splash paint styles, new school styles and I've done some color realism I'm pretty fond of. Lately I've been utilizing a lot of the AI drawing applications available to play with out of the box thinking, styles, and images that help improve upon my artwork.
