TRIVIA
Dallas is my hometown. I have lots of stories about illegal rooster fighting in secret back yards. Since those unruly Texas days, I have lived in Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City, Los Angeles, Boulder, and São Paulo. I now call Portland home.
Graffiti was my way into the art scene.
Did you know you can be a nature photographer inside the Red Dead Redemption universe? Oh yeah. I’ve also been a proofer, a newspaper layout editor, a waiter, an IT guy, a grocery store bagger, a CD burner-er, a FedEx loader, an old photo restorator, a protestor, a weekly New Yorker cartoon caption contest submitter, a retoucher, a mechanical artist, a sleep walker, and a harsh critic of my own art when I sleep walked. I used to wake up to find my sketches in the toilet.
When I’m not thinking about ads, and I think about ads an absurd amount of time, I work with independent voices and organizations as an editorial illustrator with a focus on politics and social justice issues.
I also contribute as a design editor for Barricade, a periodical dedicated to publishing translations of linguistically and temporally diverse works of antifascist and antiauthoritarian literature.
At night, I invent bedtime stories for my daughter and then partner with artists from around the world to make them into real children’s books.
