The Poem of the Story of the Battle of the Bump
This poem was several years in the making - evolving and growing in moments of political frustration. Sometimes I respond with angry poetry, it just so happens that it rang true for a lot of other people as well.
I wanted to share it but I wanted to read it and record it. But then if I was going to read it, I might as well have a few illustrations. And if I’ve got a few illustrations, I might as well have a few more. And if I’m going that far anyways, then I might as well just go the full nine yards and record, edit, and film it all. It took several months to make the actual video - but that’s mostly because of life getting in the way.
Leaked Footage from Ancient Times
I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with friend and talented musical artist NTF on a series he is working on. He brought the vision and I provided the drawings. We drew 5 different sets and he filmed it in stop motion style. We had one day to complete it and ended up working for about 18 hours straight in order to finish the job. I love the way he brought it together.

Take the light of your life to the Light her her life!
I’ve started a second round of travel posters, bringing the total to an even 12. I’ve started this round with the Sun. This starts with the blocking of the letters and creating the font, and goes all the way to the end.
I did add a couple of color touch ups after I finished the painting.
How to paint with script
I finally filmed a painting I did from start to finish to show you how I did it - including the many mistakes I made - and give commentary. I used a home depot canvas drop cloth and stretched it out over an old canvas frame I had to save money. I used spray paints to paint something resembling the milky way, then I used tape, a knife, and a ruler to make script
Timelapse of a Rainy Night
This is a short timelapse video that I made of a painting that I did when I was living in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the painting because I left it there, but it is pretty cool to see it develop and watch the paint run and dry.
Ignore the gift in the background.
