In the common, and often ambiguous distinction

between art and design, I found myself more on

the art side prior to starting my career path as

a designer. Now, in the progression of my

design career, I have found that my nature as

an artist has become more separate and even

secondary to the development of my design

sensibilities. This compilation of non-design

processes presents my mindset in fine arts,

rather than design.

I let go of concentration towards refined

formal elements and craft in favor of

immediacy towards creating from a more

abstract expression of imagery.

When it comes to style, the inspiration

for this side of my creative life has

been derived from many sources, from

Japanese animation to post-modernism

to psychedelic artwork. The images

included have often been described as

creepy, grotesque, and peculiar.

The images presented are the direct result of decision-making with no preemptive method.

Operating in this fashion has

provided an escape from

the trials I have faced as an

individual coming to grips with

the obstacles set forth in my life.

It presents an almost alternate

reality that is safer to express

myself through rather than by

more naturalistic means.

This is not the design side of

my personality, but my art side.
