With comics and illustrations, I explore the relationship between the fantastic and the mundane. With influences such as Jack Kirby, Alex Toth, and Bruce Timm.

Currently in my comics, I’m exploring the corruption of American society of the political class and big business. Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by the weird and normal clashing like Twilight Zone, especially growing up in a small town in northwest Ohio where it can be eerie and often quiet. I hope that after everything is said and done people will be entertained and educated by my work without ham fisting a message.

Which I think I can do from making comics a really unique medium with art and literature. On top of comics, I'm starting to branch out to other outlets of creativity like my "Yinzer Magic" which is a series of illustrations of known Pittsburgh neighborhoods spliced with magical creatures walking around.
