My work has always been influenced by the 'old skool' graffiti art style that we see all over industrial cities today. It really brightens up the deteriorating,  abandoned buildings and gives these forgotten artifacts a new sense of purpose: a giant canvas for the modern, urban artist.

This pastel was created with the best oil pastels (Neocolor) on thick, heavy-duty paper. The black background makes the colors glow. 

The skeleton of a dead fish is another modern icon that I just love to toy around with in my art. It's just too whimsical to be gruesome. The fact that the actual skeleton of a fish still outlines the shape of the living organism when seen on the beach makes this one of the most identifiable symbols in the world.
