Art is vida.

Here lies my portfolio of art things. I hope to pursue some of these styles/topics as a tattoo artist.

Cubez & Tubez

For many years, I’ve been drawing a variety of #cubezandtubez. Ideally, I want to push this style with tattooing and see how it evolves.


  • Gouache on watercolor paper.

    I can’t remember the very first #cubezandtubez I actually created, but this was the first that I painted in a more professional manner. It will always be the OG to me.


  • Created in Procreate.

    Sometimes I have little visions of #cubezandtubez compositions and this one I had to get out of my head. I added the floofy clouds and twinkle stars to add some pizzazz.


  • Created in Procreate.

    I like experimenting with textures and shapes, so this #cubezandtubez plays with a little liquid action.

  • Created in Procreate.

    In this composition, I wanted to play with adding a pattern. Cows it was!

Lettering

As a kid, I drew bubble and block letters on the reg. Becoming a graphic designer introduced me to the art of lettering and I have since experimented with many a style. Here is a sampling of ideas I’ve executed.


  • Created in Procreate.

    Wanting my branding to be inspired by a mix of bubble letters, letterpress, and overall groovy-ness, I drew these bad boys for kenz the wenz.


  • Hand drawn and digitized in Adobe Illustrator.

    While working on potential signage for a coffee stand, I drew COFFEE in a tombstone style, which then inspired this poster design.


  • Hand drawn and digitized in Adobe Illustrator.

    After moving to Colorado from the East Coast back in 2015, I wanted to send out a Christmas card letting everyone know back home how CO was treating me.


  • Created in Procreate.

    I heard this saying from a movie or something and knew I wanted to letter it. I love the combo of cute (bubble letters) but kinda rude (fuck you). This is for all those people who did ya dirty and you’ll never forgive them!


  • Chalkboard paint on wall.

    There was this big blank wall when I worked at Primal Wear and one day I asked my boss if I could do something with it. The end result was painting/creating “The Forum” wall for people to interact with and post weekly events on it so everyone knew what was coming up. It was fun to see what kinds of doodles people would draw on it throughout the day.

Everything Else

This section covers anything and everything that doesn’t fit in the categories above.


  • Acrylic on wood canvas

    Painted for Shift Art charity event in 2018. It was successfully bid on and sold.


  • Watercolor on paper.

    An architecture and shading study done in my college Drawing Studio class.


  • Acrylic on water color paper.

    During my Surface Studio class in college, we had an exercise where we had to choose a painting from another artist and recreate that painting in greyscale. David Hockney is my favorite, so I chose his Portrait of Nick Wilder to paint.


  • Acrylic on wood canvas.

    This was another painting I did for the Shift Art charity event in 2017. It was successfully bid on and sold.


  • Hand drawn illustrations, vectorized in Adobe Illustrator.

    I created this series of Instagram posts for the 12 Days of Deals campaign while I worked at Primal Wear. Each illustration was hand drawn and then vectorized in Adobe Illustrator. It was really fun thinking of different Christmas doodles to do that would match the sale of the day.
