As an artist from Maryland’s Eastern Shore, I have been creating artwork for over 30 years and tattooing since 1991. When not using a tattoo machine, I create works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, glass, digital design, various sculptural mediums and photography. Much of my work, including my custom jewelry, is available at my gallery, Wooden Octopus, in Berlin, Maryland. I continue to experiment with new concepts, materials, and techniques while focusing on unique, custom pieces that will be available in the gallery.

As part owner of Independent Tattoo, in Delaware, my tattoo schedule keeps me busy. I am consistently working either on paper, canvas or skin and I continually strive to incorporate modern advancements in technology into much of my work.

I have published a few art books and my work has been featured in a number of other PUBLISHED WORKS.
